- λ368ΛειξούραgluttonyThis unglossed headword, lacking (Adler reports) in mss AFV, is also the final word of the previous entry, lambda 367 (q.v.). The word is defined as "gift" in Hesychius. It is defined as "greed" …Matched in noteshighshort
- λ202ΛαιστρόνlaistronAlso in Theognostus, On Orthography 27, and ps.-Zonaras s.v. laitro/n. Seemingly a corruption of Hesychius' la/iton (lambda163) -- glossed as a)rxei=on -- which in turn is an Atticisation of Herodotus 7.197.2 ('the Achaians call …Matched in noteshighshort

- λ369Λειόβατοςsmooth-troddenComparably in ps.-Zonaras 1294 and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (250). Other sources identify the headword as a kind of fish (a ray or skate): Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 7.312B (7.89 Kaibel) quoting Plato Comicus …Matched in noteshighshort

- λ204ΛαιστρυγόνοςLaistrygonHere in the genitive case, *laistrugo/nos. However, this is evidently quoted from Homer, Odyssey 10.106 and/or 199, where we see what this genitive really is: 'daughter of Antiphates the Laistrygon'. (Adler's note suggests, following …Matched in noteshighshort
- λ209ΛαίφυρονnimbleThe purported headword adjective, in the neuter singular, occurs occurs only here, in ps.-Zonaras (with the same definition), and in Gennadius Scholarius, Grammar p. 463, defined as "weak or fast". It is probably a …Matched in noteshighshort

- λ177Λαιετόνantique (?)Neuter nominative/accusative singulars. For the headword's intensifying prefix lai- cf. lambda 187, lambda 188.

- λ415Λήθην κυνῶνforgetfulness of dogs (?)[1] Same gloss in Photius lambda241, where Theodoridis' edition indicates a corruption in the headword. (Certainly what has been transmitted as the genitive plural kunw=n is very hard to make sense of). See also …Matched in noteshighshort
