δ153Δεδιττόμενοςterrifying… 152, delta 304. Same entry in some other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; that fact makes it likely (if not demonstrable) that the headword is quoted from Plato, Phaedrus 245B.Matched in noteshighshort

δ315Δείλης πρωΐαςof early afternoon… somewhere. The first of them occurs as a lemma in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; and for the second cf. Artemidorus 1.7 (accusative). cf. delta 306, delta 314.Matched in noteshighshort

δ486Δήπουθενdoubtless, presumably… entry -- repeated, oddly, at its end -- derives from Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon s.v. (which has itself probably been generated by either Plato, Ion 534A or Philebus 62E). [1] This alternative gloss, repeated at …Matched in noteshighshort

δ588Διακομισθείςhaving been conveyed acrossSame entry in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon.

δ666Διανενεύκαμενwe have swum throughSame entry in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The headword comes from Plato, Republic 441C, tau=ta me\n a)/ra...mo/gis dianeneu/kamen ('that was a tough swim for us'). cf. delta 667, delta 670.Matched in noteshighshort

δ710Διαπορηθέντεςhaving been reduced to a loss… in the nominative masculine plural -- is quoted from Plato, Timaeus 49B (web address 1); here and in other lexica it is glossed with the present active participle of the same verb.Matched in noteshighshort

δ749Διασήθεινto sift… as corrupt; diash/qein does exist (see LSJ s.v.), but in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon the lemma which has these three glosses is diagra/fein "to erase/strike through"; and see also Hesychius s.v.Matched in noteshighshort

δ774Διασφάξcleft[1] Likewise in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. That work does not confine itself to Plato, however, so there is no call to doubt the assertion in (e.g.) Philoxenus and the Lexicon Vindobonense …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1018Διηρθρωμένονdescribed distinctlySame or similar entry in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon.
