ε2504Ἐπιώψατοchose, oversaw[1] So far, the entry = Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 987a10 (who also adds 'Plato in Laws'); cf. [Didymos], De dubiis apud Platonem lectionibus 246.13. Adler also cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 1647. [2] In Plato, Laws …Matched in noteshighshort
ε584Ἔκπλυτονwashed-out… to dying. Adler also classifies the entry as a gl[ossa] Platonica' (repeated by Theodoridis at his Photius, Lexicon epsilon478), evidently because it appears as a totality in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. Thus the source of …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2504

Ἐπιώψατο

chose, oversaw

[Meaning he/she/it] designated, selected. It is an Attic [expression]: "the king oversaw [the] arrhephoroi." That is, designated [them], selected [them]. Plato in Laws [sc. uses the word].

Ἐπιώψατο· κατέλεξεν, ἐξελέξατο. ἔστι δ' Ἀττικόν· ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπιώψατο ἀρρηφόρους. οἷον κατέλεξεν, ἐξελέξατο. Πλάτων ἐν Νόμοις.

ε2172Ἐπηλυγασάμενοςovershading= Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 986b.3-4. The headword (aorist middle participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb e)phluga/zw) appears in Plato, Lysis 207b (web address 1), although most mss of Plato (and hence most modern …Matched in noteshighshort

ε138Ἐγκύρτιαfish-trap entrances, weel entrances… not out. The present gloss on its plural (from Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon) is as vague in the Greek as it sounds in translation. [1] Plato, Timaeus 78B-D (web address 1).Matched in noteshighshort

ε1546Ἐξάντηdanger-free, out of danger… to be explained. For the entry so far, cf. Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon, Zenobius 3.95, Hesychius, and other lexica. [4] Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 2.18.22; a Roman soldier makes three attempts to scale the wall and …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε2171Ἐπηλυγάζονταιthey are being obfuscated… 2172. Adler cites scholia to Lucian (25.5 Rabe) and to Plato, Lysis 207B, Lexica Segueriana 243.8 and Photius s.v. h)lu/gh, but these passages share little in common with the present entry aside from a …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε4022Ἐχθοδοπόνhostility-inducingSame entry in Photius and in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; and cf. the scholia to Plato, Laws 810D, where the headword occurs in the masculine/feminine genitive singular. Here, by contrast, it is either masculine/feminine accusative …Matched in noteshighshort

ε65Ἐγκάθηνταιput-in secretly… the entry's secondary one. [1] From Synagoge epsilon205, quoting Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 984a (which glosses Plato, Axiochus 368D: accusative plural there), perhaps through Cyril's Glossarium or through Hesychius epsilon179 (same entry, probably a Cyrillian …Matched in noteshighshort

ε191Ἐγχυτρίστριαιbone-gathering womenLikewise in Photius (following Pausanias the Atticist and Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon); also cf. scholia on [Plato], Minos 315C (where the accusative case of a variant spelling of the headword appears: e)gxutistri/as), and on Aristophanes, …Matched in noteshighshort

ε248ἝδοςhedosSame or similar entry in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The headword is perhaps extracted from Plato, Symposium 178B (itself quoting Hesiod, Theogony 117), though Timaeus' coverage is wider than his title suggests …Matched in noteshighshort

ε503Ἑκμήνουsix-month… (cf. epsilon 504). Same glossing in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon s.v., which suggests that it is extracted not from the quotation which follows (see next note) but rather from Plato, Laws 916B …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1037Ἐμπολέμιαwar-equipmentSame entry in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; very similar one in Hesychius, where Latte identifies the neuter plural headword as quoted from Plato, Laws 943A.Matched in noteshighshort

ε1184Ἐνδοῦναιto give in… epsilon 1185, epsilon 1186, epsilon 1225. Entry as in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; thus the headword is probably (though not necessarily) quoted from its sole appearance in Plato, at Phaedrus 241C.Matched in noteshighshort

ε1292Ἔνη καὶ νέαold and newThe first part of this entry in also in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; see also Photius, Lexicon epsilon915. See also epsilon 1293, epsilon 1296. [1] cf. delta 1205, epsilon 1294, epsilon 1295, epsilon 1298, and …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1711Ἐξηγηταίexpounders… [2] For this opening section of the entry cf. Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon, and the scholia to Plato, Laws 916C. [3] Herodotus 5.31.4 (Artaphrenes to Aristagoras). [4] So the transmitted text, o)nomazo/mena; but -- as …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1796Ἐξομόργνυνταιthey wipe off (from themselves)… glossing in other lexica, and cf. also the scholia to Plato, Laws 775D, where the participle e)comorgnu/menon (e)comorgnu/menos in Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon) occurs.Matched in noteshighshort

ε1917Ἐπαγγελίαιproclamations… 220, epsiloniota 221, epsiloniota 222), the term for which Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon supplies the present definition. It is very probably quoted from Plato, Republic 8.565C; cf. the scholia there. [1] Adler notes that Aemilius …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1951Ἐπαμφοτερίσαιto equivocate… point the gloss is equivalent to one found in Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon, under e)camfoteri/sai rather than (as here) e)pamfoteri/sai. Either way, its ultimate origin cannot be determined with certainty, though if Timaeus' e)c- is …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2065ἘπεπόνθηI had suffered= Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 986a.20; cf. a similar entry at 988a.20, which is also adopted by Photius, Lexicon epsilon1427 Theodoridis. Much less similar (though cited by Adler as a comparandum) is Gregory of Corinth, …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2090Ἐπεσφάλακενwas toppledThe entry is taken from Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 986a line 22, though -- as is often the case with that mis-titled work -- the headword does not occur in the extant corpus of Plato. …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2096Ἐπετίμαwas raising the pricecf. generally epsilon 672, epsilon 2703. [1] Likewise in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The headword must be quoted from somewhere, but is not extant in Plato. Arguably the best-known instance of the headword, in the …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2195Ἐπῆραςyou stirred up, you induced… second person singular. It must be quoted from somewhere, perhaps Plato, Hippias minor 373A. Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon has the same entry (provided e)pa/ras is emended, as is customary, to e)ph=ras). See also Photius, Lexicon …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2284Ἐπιδεᾶin need (of)… e)pideh/s. Same or similar entry in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon, and thus probably quoted from Plato, Timaeus (sic) 47E (web address 1); if so, it is acc. sing.Matched in noteshighshort

ε2624Ἐπιστήματαmonuments… Suda's plural is also, with the same gloss, in Timaeus's Platonic Lexicon, and thus more probably extracted from Plato, Laws 958E, than from the quotation given here. [2] Aelian fr. 73f Domingo-Forasté (70 Hercher); …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3273Ἑταιρίστριαιcourtesanizers= Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 987a 26; Moeris 196.24; Hesychius epsilon6489; Photius, Lexicon epsilon2070 (cf. delta1689) -- all stemming from the use of the feminine nominative plural headword in Plato, Symposium 191E (web address 1). …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3383Εὔβοτονwell-pastured… for the neuter singular, in other lexica; they include Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon s.v., probably generated by Plato, Critias 111A. The Suda's feminine might be a simple mistake, but if so it was not corrected …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3481Εὐήτριονwell-threaded… (A) there). Its neuter nominative/accusative singular, here, is quoted from Plato, Politicus 310E, where it describes a u(/fasma (upsilon 702); see the scholia there, Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon, and Photius s.v.Matched in noteshighshort

ε3511Εὔθυναaudit, euthyna… of the entry is also in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon, and the scholia to Plato, Laws 945D. [3] From phi 246; see also delta 243.Matched in noteshighmedium
