ε1796Ἐξομόργνυνταιthey wipe off (from themselves)The headword is third person plural present middle of e)como/rgnumi. It must be quoted from somewhere: same or similar glossing in other lexica, and cf. also the scholia to Plato, Laws 775D, where the …Matched in noteshighshort
ε1889Ἐωνημένοιhaving purchased[1] The headword is the perfect middle participle, masculine nominative plural, of w)ne/omai. Same or similar glossing in other lexica; evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps Plato, Republic 563B, though there are other possibilities). As …Matched in noteshighshort
ε699Ἐκκυκλεῖwheels outcf. epsilon 132, epsilon 1612. [1] Same glossing in Hesychius and other lexica; evidently quoted from somewhere. [2] From the scholia to Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 96, where Agathon is ou(kkuklou/menos.

ε3142ἘσθόμενοςeatingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] The primary headword e)sqo/menos is a middle-voice participle in the masculine nominative singular. Like the secondary one (on which see next note) it stems from a byform of e)sqi/w, …Matched in noteshighshort

ε651ἘκτιλούμενοιtamedThe Suda's headword e)ktilou/menoi is very probably a mistake for e)ktilw/menoi, i.e. perfect middle participle (masculine nominative plural) of ktilo/w. (Adler reports that e)ktileme/noi is the reading of mss IVM before correction.) Equivalent entry …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1021Ἐμπλασσόμενοιstriking out atThe headwords for this entry and epsilon 1022 have been transmitted as identical, but see n.1 below (and under epsilon 1022). [1] Present participle, nominative masculine plural, presumably extracted from the quotation which follows. …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2330Ἐπιθειασμοίdivine appeals[1] Paraphrase or approximation of a longer quotation ascribed to Arrian at theta 310, and combined with a quotation at alpha 4495 to form Arrian, Parthica fr. 34 Roos-Wirth (cf. FGrH 156 F149). [2] …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2602Ἐπισταθμευόμενοιproviding billets, providing quarters[1] The headword participle e)pistaqmeuo/menoi, again at epsilon 2603, does not lend itself to these glosses; it must be faulty (perhaps, slightly out of alphabetical order, e)pistaqmw/menoi, "pondering"?). [2] Phokaians, rather. [3] Polybius 21.6.1 …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2728Ἐπιτριβόμενοιafflicting, crushingThe headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is present middle-passive participle, masculine nominative plural, of e)pitri/bw (for which see already epsilon 2727, and cf. epsilon 2729). Same or similar entry in other lexica, …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3082Ἕρσηdew[1] Likewise in Hesychius and other lexica. (For the difficulty of differentiating in translation between the Greek nouns e(/rsh and dro/sos cf. epsilon 3080, epsilon 3084.) [2] Greek Anthology 6.120.4 (Leonidas of Tarentum), on …Matched in noteshighshort

ε4032Ἐχόμεναpertaining toThe headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is present middle/passive participle, neuter (nominative and) accusative plural, of e)/xw. See also epsilon 4033. [1] Quotation unidentifiable. This makes it impossible to be certain whether …Matched in noteshighshort

ε70<20Ἐγκαλινδεῖσθαι σωματικοῖς παθήμασιto wallow in bodily affectionsA marginal gloss mising from mss TFV and misplaced in ms G. Adler tentatively ascribes it to Symeon Metaphrastes. (But see below.) The verb e)gkalindei=sqai, literally meaning to roll around in, occurs occasionally in …Matched in noteshighshort

ε121Ἐγκραγώνhaving shouted atThe headword is the aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb e)gkra/zw. It must be quoted from somewhere. Adler implicitly suggests Synesius, Letter 79 (225b), where the headword and loidorhsa/menos (not the …Matched in noteshighshort

ε134Ἐγκύκλιοςcyclical, periodicFor this adjective cf. epsilon 133. [1] Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 7.8.2, says that the Avars (*)/abaroi) called their leaders Khagans or Khans (*xaga/noi: see chi 2, chi 3). [2] The use of e)gku/klion plou=ton …Matched in noteshighshort

ε171ἘγγυμνῶI will exercise inLikewise in syntactical lexica. The headword is perhaps a future of e)ggumna/zw, which is used with the accusative of what is being exercised (body, soul, mind) and dative of the skill being practised. But …Matched in noteshighshort

ε466Ἐκλῃδονίζετοwas foretellingSame entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (437). The headword is imperfect indicative middle-passive, third person singular, of the verb klh|doni/zw, "vaticinate". A Biblical entry, from 4 Kingdoms 21.6 LXX. A longer …Matched in noteshighshort

ε468ἘκκλήσειςexhortationsThe headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is nominative plural of the noun e)/kklhsis. [1] ai( e)kkalh/seis in ps.-Zonaras 656.18, followed by the same quotation (Polybius fr. 131). See also epsilon 476: there …Matched in noteshighshort

ε551Ἐκπαγλούμενοιbeing struckSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. For this verb see already epsilon 550. In the present instance the participle (presumably extracted from the quotation given) is masculine nominative plural. Construed with an accusative, the verb has …Matched in noteshighshort

ε575Ἔκπλεαcomplete (ones)[1] = Anecdota Graeca I 214.9 (Bachmann); also in ps.-Zonaras, who goes on to give the quotation which immediately follows. The headword, neuter plural of the adjective e)/kpleos, is presumably extracted from it. [2] …Matched in noteshighshort

ε714Ἐκφορούμενοιbeing carried outThe headword (which must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested) is present middle/passive participle, masculine nominative plural, of e)kfore/w. Earlier lexica have other glosses, such as korennu/menoi, 'being satiated'; see Photius …Matched in noteshighshort

ε718Ἔκφρωνwitlesscf. epsilon 716, epsilon 717. [1] Similar glossing already in Hesychius (epsilon1807). [2] Quotation unidentifiable in this precise form, but very like what Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 12.531F-532A (12.42 Kaibel), citing Theopompus (FGrH 115 F31), says …Matched in noteshighshort

ε735Ἐλάκησεburst asunder[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is aorist indicative active of laka/w, third person singular. It must be quoted from somewhere -- almost certainly (given the amount of patristic comment on …Matched in noteshighshort

ε994Ἐμπαλασσόμενοιentangled with one another[1] cf. the scholia to the passage which follows. [2] Thucydides 7.84.3-4: web address 1. (NB: Adler punctuates after 'river', but editors of Thucydides as above.) Probably unconsciously, Thucydides here echoes Herodotus 7.85.2, on …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1022ἘμπλασσόμενοιhittingThe same headword, as transmitted, as epsilon 1021 (q.v.) -- but see n.2 below. [1] Present participle, masculine nominative plural, presumably extracted from the quotation given. [2] Aelian fr. 250d Domingo-Forasté. Adler's note reads: …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1137Ἐναύεινto supplicate[1] This meaning of the verb e)nau/w, labelled sense C in LSJ s.v., is unattested outside Photius (epsilon824 Theodoridis), the Suda, and ps.-Zonaras. They or their source seem to have confused e)nau/w "kindle" (sense …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1140Ἐναύλισμαabode, quartersNeuter noun related to the verb epsilon 1139 and epsilon 1324. Same gloss in some lexica, but Hesychius epsilon2698 has a fuller one: newsti\ geno/meno/n ti oi)/khma, "recently built". Instances in Artemidorus, Theophylact Simocatta, …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1560Ἔξαρνοςobstinately denying, obstinate in denying[1] Same gloss at Etymologicum Magnum 346.50; cf. ps.-Zonaras, epsilon755, with gloss a)rnou/menos (Hesychius epsilon3604, Scholia recentiora on Aristophanes, Clouds 1230a). See also ps.-Zonaras iota1124 [ = iota 728], where the same explanation occurs …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1564Ἐξαρτήσαςhaving hung onThe headword (evidently quoted from somewhere) is aorist participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb e)carta/w; cf. epsilon 1748, epsilon 1749. See also ps.-Zonaras 766.1, with the same glosses; cf. Etymologicum Gudianum 485.17 s.v. …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1740Ἐξηπάτησεν ἡ χάραξ τὴν ἄμπελονthe stake deceived the vineAristophanes, Wasps 1291 (web address 1), with scholion; cf. Appendix Proverbiorum 2.71. See also eta 672, chi 97.

ε1946ἘπάλξειςbattlementsThe headword is the nominative/ accusative plural -- glossed here as nominative -- of the noun e)/palcis. This form of the noun occurs numerous times in Homer's Iliad, e.g. 12.258 (web address 1), and …Matched in noteshighshort
