- δ1694Δυσριγότεροςmore chilling, rather chilling… ps.-Zonaras, where both the comparative and the superlative of du/srigos (itself given) appear.
- δ169Δεῆσανthere being a lackSame entry elsewhere. For the headword itself -- aorist active participle, neuter nominative/accusative singular, of dei= (delta 166) -- see e.g. Isocrates 12.180.
- δ1273Διοιγνύντεςopening out… masculine nominative plural, from different compounds of oi)/gnumi. The headword itself must be quoted from somewhere.
- δ715Διαπραξάμενον ἐλευθερίανhaving brought about freedom… though usually without the gloss -- elsewhere. The headword phrase itself, with the participle in the accusative case, must be quoted from somewhere.
- δ823ΔιαφημίζωI spread the news… appears to preface a lost glossing verb. The headword verb itself appears as a gloss in delta 598 and delta 978; see also delta 944.
- δ722Διαπυρώτατοςmost fiery, very fiery… of this adjective, must be quoted from somewhere. The adjective itself has both literal and figurative senses: see LSJ s.v. dia/puros.
- δ920ΔιενήνοχαI carry over, I differ… the first person singular, perfect active indicative, of diafe/rw, which itself appears as the gloss; in other words, the perfect has present sense.
- δ352Δεινοὶ πλέκειν τοι μηχανὰς ΑἰγύπτιοιEgyptians (are) clever at crafting machines[1] Zenobius 3.37. The headword phrase itself is Aeschylus fr. 373 Nauck (726 Mette). [2] Homer, Iliad 2.742, 15.626. The added comment comes from the scholia to the first of these passages. (The fame …
- δ568Διάθρυπτεsmash apart! break up! distribute!… LXX ('share your bread with the hungry'). For the verb itself see also delta 569 and delta 585 (gloss). [1] Adler reports, however, that ms T has the gloss 'split up', 'divide' (diame/rize).
- δ1700ΔυστραπελίαintransigenceThe (unglossed) headword itself is unattested in this precise form (dustrapelia) outside lexicography, but for dustrapeleia see e.g. Diodorus Siculus 4.11.6, 5.15.5. For the adjective see also delta 1701.
- δ749Διασήθεινto siftSame entry in Photius, though Theodoridis there obelizes the headword itself 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 …
- δ100Δαφνίνην φορῶ βακτηρίανI am carrying a laurel staffZenobius 3.12, and other paroemiographers. The proverbial phrase itself is the bulk (minus the opening) of an iambic trimeter.
- δ840Διαχεῖταιis dispersed, is put into a good mood… headword, third person singular present middle/passive of diaxe/w. (The headword itself, similarly glossed in other lexica, must be quoted from somewhere, but there are too many possibilities to permit identification.)
- δ505ΔιαβηνόςDiabenos… in Mesopotamia; see under alpha 470 (and note that Adiabene itself is occasionally found in the acephalous form Diabene). Note, nevertheless, the Orthodox Calendar observance, on 9th September, of 'the Venerable Theophanes the Confessor …
- δ606Διακρίνεταιis in dispute… occurs) and 3.102 (where diakrinqei=te occurs). The more commonplace headword itself, diakri/netai, must be quoted from somewhere else.
- δ1051ΔιίσχωI have power over… the genitive case. [2] (Contrast iota 724.) The verb diisxu/w itself occurs in Philo Judaeus, Cyril of Alexandria, and elsewhere.
- δ953Διεσαρδάνισεlaughed bitterly… variously as diesarda/nise, diesarda/nwse and diesardw/nise. LSJ registers the verb itself as diasardano/w. For Sardanian/Sardonian (i.e. sardonic) laughter see sigma 120, sigma 123, sigma 124.
- δ774Διασφάξcleft… 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 that dia/sfac is extracted …
- δ1301Δίχηλα ζῷαcloven-hoofed beasts… History of Animals 3.14-4.1; and cf. the History of Animals itself, at 499b. [1] Adler cross-references to delta '1367', end; see rather delta 1387. [2] For the various senses of the term astragalos - …
- δ1559Δοιδυκοποιόςpestle-maker… ps.-Herodian 24. Outside these lexica and grammars the present headword itself occurs only in (and is therefore probably generated by) Plutarch, Phocion 4.2, quoting the historian Idomeneus of Lampsacus (FGrH 338 F15); Idomeneus claims …
- δ1170Διονύσιος ὁ ἈρεωπαγίτηςDionysios the Areiopagite, Dionysius the Areopagite… lost their importance after Alexandria was founded. However, the city itself kept its role until the first centuries of the Roman empire. [8] For the solar eclipse on the day of the passion of …
- δ980Διέφερονthey bore through, they bore to the end… to Thucydides 1.11.2, and then purports to quote the passage itself (which in fact does not mention the Athenians; the (implicit) subjects are actually the Trojans in the Trojan War). See text at web …
- δ776Διατάγματαedicts… the gloss on this passage cf. alpha 1612. The passage itself is an approximation of Herodian 7.12.2 (which in fact contains the singular of the headword); 'he' is the shortlived (238 CE) joint Roman …
- δ552Διαείδεταιis discerned… (web address 1), and on Iliad 13.277, where the headword itself occurs (web address 2). This verb is diaei/dw (A) in LSJ, from dia/ and the root veid-. [2] Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. …
- δ1458Δωριάζεινto dress like a Dorian girl… from Pausanias the Atticist (fr. 140). For the headword verb itself see e.g. Anacreon fr. 54 Page (PMG). On the chiton, see generally chi 320.
- δ510ΔιαβούλομαιI thoroughly wish… course simply be an error. But if not, the headword itself -- for another verb which does occur in this author -- must be faulty (and is indeed obelized in the editions of Photius). …
- δ676Διανταίᾳ πληγῇwith a wound extending throughout… is presumably extracted from the quotation given. The (unglossed) quotation itself, found only here, is unidentifiable, but it looks like post-classical historiography. (Compare very generally Diodorus Siculus 16.94.3 on the assassination of Philip II …
- δ1613Δυσέκτωνbad-understanding… nasal forms of the third declension. The etymology of duse/ktwn itself may derive from the combination of dus- with e)/xw (cf. the verbal adjective e)kte/os), 'I have/hold', here figuratively 'I hold mentally, 'I understand'.
- δ614Διαλλαγῆναιto be reconciled… 1.120.2, where the finite verb e)nhlla/ghsan occurs. (For the headword itself see 8.70.2, 8.71.3, and cf generally delta 613.) The same differentiation in reverse occurs at epsilon 1105. For the LSJ entries for these …
- δ486Δήπουθενdoubtless, presumably… 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 the end of the entry, would …
