Ἀβάντειος
Abanteios, Abantius, Abantian
Adler cites as a comparandum Lexicon Ambrosianum 22, 23, 28. [1] This suppletion is suggested by the corresponding entry in the Lexicon of pseudo-Zonaras 5.1, which is identical to this entry apart from the …

Ἀγέροπτος

A problematic entry. The headword itself is a)ge/roptos in most Suda mss and also in Hesychius, but a)ge/ropos in ms T and also in ps.-Zonaras. (Both versions are otherwise unattested, and not in LSJ.) …

Ἀλέγοις

The headword might be extracted from the first quotation given, though ps.-Zonaras (see n. 1) does not give it, and in any event see n. 2. [1] Similar glossing (second synonym only) in ps.-Zonaras. …

The headword is perhaps generated by the epigram quoted, though not demonstrably so; ps.-Zonaras (next note) does not have it, and in any case the epigram has a Doric-dialect version. [1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. …

Ἀβιαδηνός

No such city is attested, so surely the name in question here is Adiabene (see alpha 470, and generally OCD(4) p.12), even though that is consistently classified as a "territory" (in present-day Iraq) rather …

Ἀβρικέστερον
more precise, rather precise.
Adler's textual conservatism led to her printing this a)brike/steron (as indeed the alphabetical order requires; also in ps.-Zonaras). However, she notes that ms S has the correct a)kribe/steron (the comparative of alpha 979/alpha 980).

Ἀβρίξαι

Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword, presumably quoted from somewhere, is an aorist active infinitive. LSJ proffers no suitable verb for it under alpha, but see the entry on bri/zw, 'to be sleepy, nod'. (Adler …
