α3724Ἀπφάappha, sib… similarly in other lexica. A term of endearment, according to Eustathius, amongst lovers as well as siblings. [2] See Theocritus, Idylls 15.14, with scholion. Eustathius explained the word as o( a)f' ou(= e)/fu, "he …Matched in noteshighshort

α170Ἀγάσματαobjects of wonder… = Synagoge alpha95. Similar definitions in Hesychius alpha340 and at Eustathius Commentaries on Homer's Iliad 3.589.17. It is otherwise unattested.Matched in noteshighshort

α831Ἀκέωνwordless(ly), in silence, speechless, (?)attentive(ly)… the verb of healing, so scholia to Iliad 4.22, Hesychius, Eustathius 1902.47, but properly rejected as inapplicable to almost all occurrences of the word); (3) 'meekly, gently, peaceably' (Boisacq, rejecting de Saussure and citing …Matched in noteshighshort

α841Ἀκέσασθαι καὶ Ἀκέσαιto heal… 432 -- but this assertion, repeated there, makes little sense. Eustathius (1647.56) vigorously denies the relationship between the word for stitching and the word akestria for 'healer', and this entry perhaps reflects a confused …Matched in noteshighshort

α856Ἀκεῖσθαιto heal… 22.2; cf. alpha 851), but this was vigorously denied by Eustathius (1647.56), citing Aelius Dionysius. See alpha 851 for the important distinction between the masculine nouns for 'doctor' and 'tailor'. This verb has no …Matched in noteshighshort

α1230Ἁλίμικτονsalt-blendedSo here and (e.g.) in Eustathius, for this neuter singular. Hesychius has the neuter plural of a(li/smhktos "salt-smeared."Matched in noteshighshort

α1261Ἀλιτόμηνοςuntimely-born… according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon; also mentioned by Eustathius. [2] This term, whether Doric (headword) or otherwise, was the word for a premature baby. First (as h)lito/mhnos) in Homer, Iliad 19.117-18; cf. …Matched in noteshighshort

α1290Ἀλκμανικὸν εἶδοςAlcmanic form… and this is from the scholia on the line (cf. Eustathius ad loc.). Alternatively known as the Alcmanic figure. For further examples see the scholia to Iliad 18.514, 20.138, Odyssey 10.513; Herodian, de figuris …Matched in noteshighshort

α1303Ἅλμη οὐκ ἔνεστ' αὐτῷthere is no salt in him; there is no sauce in him… by many modern sophisticated societies. This proverb also occurs in Eustathius's note to Odyssey 4.511 and in several of the late paroemiographers (e.g. Gregorius 1.25).Matched in noteshighshort

α1678Ἀμυνόμενοιrevenging themselves… entry in ps.-Zonaras; and cf. Aristophanes of Byzantium, cited by Eustathius in his Commentary on Homer's Iliad 2.70.22 van der Valk. The headword -- present middle/passive participle, masculine nominative plural -- is thus more …Matched in noteshighshort

α1817ἈναγαλλίςAnagallis… (scholion T to Iliad 18.483-606, scholion D to Iliad 18.490; Eustathius on Iliad 18.490).Matched in noteshighshort

α2033Ἀναπόμπιμα δῶραgifts sent back… in Aelius Dionysius and Photius (and something similar, post-Suda, in Eustathius). The headword phrase (neuter plural) must be quoted from somewhere, and looks like the end of a line of hexameter verse.Matched in noteshighshort
