ι754Ἴτυξityx… the term to be a variant of i)=duc, which is itself another name for the iktis (iota 281); so Herodian, citing Alexandros of Myndos (FGrH 25 -- but this putative fragment is ignored there).Matched in noteshighshort
κ2206Κόψιχοςkopsichos… fact (LSJ) kopsichos is a variant of kossyphos, and kossyphos itself is a term applying to both a bird and a fish.Matched in noteshighshort
α3289Ἀπόδειξιςdemonstration… rendered "the essential". In the Suda example, animal belongs "by itself" (which, in accordance with the previous distinction, is the same as "essentially") to man. [3] tekmh/rion and shmei=on are Aristotle's technical terms. A …Matched in noteshighlong
γ408ΓούνδαςgoundasBoth the headword itself and the gloss's alternative are otherwise unattested. Nevertheless, both are evidently variants on what scholia to Lucian twice (on Gallus 22 and Dialogues of the Courtesans 14.2) call gonde, and …Matched in noteshighshort

κ1628Κίναδοςbeast, monsterThe headword itself is a neuter noun. The initial glossing noun is feminine, but does not on that account imply a female fox (vixen). [1] From the Sicilian sense cited by Harpocration: see kappa …Matched in noteshighshort
χ59ΧάλοςChalos, Chalus… regarded as divine and were accordingly protected. The river 'Chalos' itself (again under phi 113) has been tentatively identified with the Belus; it flows near Beroia in Syria (Barrington Atlas map 67 grid E4).Matched in noteshighshort

κ938Κατελάσαςhaving driven down, having subjugated… See already at beta 339 and delta 843.

α1387ἈλωπεκιανόςFoxy, Mangy… alopekiai as fox-earths, but the gloss here does not lend itself to that. Either what is envisaged is a head covered with mange or else a fox-skin cap.Matched in noteshighshort
μ353Μεγακήτηςfull of hollows, full of sea-monsters… either "great in respect of hollows" (from the adjective khtw/eis, itself less than self-evident in meaning but best-known as the epic epithet of Lakedaimon) or "great in respect of sea-monsters" (from the noun kh=tos: …Matched in noteshighshort
λ54ΛακιδέαςLaodikeians, Laodiceans… fully at lambda 854, phi 768, and the Synesius passage itself (which goes on to mention 'Euthalios the Laodikean'). See the translation of A. Fitzgerald at web address 1. The Barrington Atlas lists seven …Matched in noteshighshort

β178ΒάταλοςBatalos, Batalus… 'Bat(t)alos' means 'stammerer', the present passage (and indeed Aeschines 2.99 itself) seems to demand obscene connotations as well or instead; cf. beta 177. Harpokration, under this entry, cites the comic poet Eupolis for 'batalos' …Matched in noteshighshort
ε3353Εὐάew-aa… based on the bleat of the (sacrificed) tragos or billy-goat, itself a symbol of Dionysus that gives its name (we must assume) to tragedy. This gives the point to the sinister last cry of …Matched in noteshighshort
