μ843Μείλινον δόρυashen spear… appears there first, as the metre requires; and the adjective itself is me/linos in prose: see LSJ entry at web address 2 [me/linos (B)].Matched in noteshighshort
μ1441ΜύριςMyris… The adjective in the phrase is presumably geographical, but is itself an oddity (cf. mu 1431?).Matched in noteshighshort
μ1456ΜύρσωνοςMurson's, Myrson's, Myrso's… genitive are all (for illustrative purposes) in grammarians, but Myrson itself is e.g. the name of a character in Bion's Bucolica.Matched in noteshighshort
μ755ΜετεκίαθονI chased after, they chased after… in the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 1.22. The present headword itself -- more probably third person plural than first singular -- occurs four times in the Iliad (e.g. 11.52).Matched in noteshighshort
μ759Μετεμελήθη Μεταμέλειαchanged purpose, repented… (PG 80, 17331b) on Psalm 105.45 LXX. The unglossed headword itself, which occurs there, is aorist passive of metame/lei. cf. mu 708 and especially (for the substance) mu 709.Matched in noteshighshort
μ1060ΜιλήσιονMilesian… in the Suda. cf. mu 490. [1] The unglossed headword itself (which must be quoted from somewhere) is either masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular.Matched in noteshighshort

μ424Μεθήσεινto be about to release… Homer, Iliad 6.330 (where the participle meqie/nta occurs). The headword itself must be quoted from somewhere else; perhaps Euripides (Medea 751) or Plato (Laws 951D), though there are numerous later possibilities. See also mu …Matched in noteshighshort
μ1369Μύγηςclamminess… (mu1777), with the important proviso that Hesychius gives the headword itself not as mu/ghs but as mu/dhs. The latter could be right if the term means "weeping" eyes (cf. mu 1374, mu 1377). In …Matched in noteshighshort
μ761Μετ' ἐναργείαςaccompanied by evidenceNo equivalent entry in other lexica. The headword phrase itself, though presumably quoted from somewhere, is unidentifiable, but appears to stem from Epicurean philosophy.

μ353Μεγακήτηςfull of hollows, full of sea-monsters… either "great in respect of hollows" (from the adjective khtw/eis, itself less than self-evident in meaning but best-known as the epic epithet of Lakedaimon) or "great in respect of sea-monsters" (from the noun kh=tos: …Matched in noteshighshort
μ727Μεταποίνιονretributive, after-punishing… headword adjective is presumably extracted from the quotation.

μ1143Μιχθῆναι ἢ μιγῆναιto have had intercourse… mother Jocasta: see lines 791 and 995. Yet the verb itself was just as ambiguous in Greek as it is in English; for instances where sexual 'intercourse' is meant see e.g. delta 683, zeta …Matched in noteshighshort

μ252Μασώμενοςchewing… the verb is middle voice, as in the headword participle itself. The first active instance extant is in the Sibylline Oracles 3.329, but active use was extremely rare until Modern Greek. [2] Aristophanes, Plutus …Matched in noteshighshort
μ142ΜάνεθωςManethos, Manetho… conveniently idem pp. xiv ff., xxvi ff. The name Manetho itself is surprisingly rare. It is firmly associated only with the historian. The astrological writings are either partly by this author or by another …Matched in noteshighshort
μ1213Μονανδρεῖhas one husband, is monogamous… only in the context of this narrative. (The unglossed headword itself is transmitted as indicative monandrei= and so translated here; one might suspect, nonetheless, that it should be monandrei=n.) There also exists a feminine …Matched in noteshighshort
μ464Μελάνυδροςblack-watered, dark-watered… feminine, baqei=a, probably presupposing the noun krh/nh "spring". The headword itself, mela/nudros, is an epic epithet of springs.

μ5Μάγγανονpotion, philtre… [2] Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 2.2.2 (which includes not the headword itself but a related one, magga/neuma). Prior to the Battle of Solachon (spring 586), the Persian general Kardarigan (cf. gamma 116) received informants' reports …Matched in noteshighshort
μ1270Μόρφωσινform, semblance… nevertheless, that the nominative singular forms of both the headword itself and the first gloss appear at Theophrastus, On the Causes of Plants 3.7.4. [1] The first gloss is a masculine noun in the …Matched in noteshighshort
μ647Μεσαύλιονof the (middle of the) courtyard… where the editor obelizes the first mesau/lion (i.e. the headword itself). The correct reading is preserved in the Lexica Segueriana: "me/ssaulon [Homer, Iliad 24.29, Odyssey 10.435; the Lex.Seg. has the Attic me/saulon], attested instead …Matched in noteshighshort
μ642Μεσάγκυλοςhalf-bent, half-stooped… and the Lexica Segueriana. The first glossing word, mesaipo/lios, is itself glossed in mu 648. The neuter noun mesa/gkulon, literally "mid-loop", refers to a javelin with a thong (loop) used to hurl it, and …Matched in noteshighshort
μ1435Μυριάμφορονten-thousand-amphora; with a ten-thousand-amphora capacity… LSJ s.v. Like other compounds with myrios (and indeed myrios itself), the sense is not so much that of a literal, numerical 10,000 as of an inconceivably large number; cf. mu 1434. [1] An …Matched in noteshighshort
μ354Μεγακλέους κίοναςMegakles' pillars, Megacles' pillars… modern commentators alike miss the joke inherent in the phrase itself: Megakles' pillars rather than the familiar pillars, stelai, of Herakles (eta 464, and cf. under gamma 29, chi 136).Matched in noteshighshort
μ1056Μικροῦ δεῖνto lack little… cf. Hesychius s.v. mikrou= (mu1345). [2] That is, mikrou= by itself, without the dei=n, can mean 'almost', as is illustrated in the quotation that follows; cf. LSJ s.v. mikro/s, and Smyth §1399. [3] Eunapius …Matched in noteshighshort
