α116Ἀγαθοθέλειαdesire for the good[1] The headword (a single word in the Greek) is a very rare feminine noun. It is glossed with this same phrase in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras. [2] 'Anon.': LSJ s.v. Perhaps Polybius, …Matched in noteshighshort
α121Ἀγαθόςgood[1] This material (from an unidentifiable source) is found only in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras. From the second sentence onwards it seems to be disputing the initial, simple equivalence. [2] Quotation unidentifiable, but …Matched in noteshighshort
α129ἈγαλεώνAgaleonLikewise in ps.-Zonaras. No mountain of this precise name is attested, however; so it seems reasonable to assume that "Agaleon" is either Mt.Aigaleos, NW of Athens (alphaiota 17) or else (and more probably?) Mt. …Matched in noteshigh

α116

Ἀγαθοθέλεια

desire for the good

[Meaning] the choice of good things. "When it comes to getting things done a desire for the good alone does not suffice; there is also a need for strength and perseverence."

Ἀγαθοθέλεια· ἡ τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἐκλογή. οὐκ ἀρκεῖ τοῖς πράγμασιν ἡ ἀγαθοθέλεια μόνον, ἀλλὰ δεῖ καὶ ῥώμης καὶ ἐπιστρεφείας.

α346Ἀγρέμιοςquarry, preyBoth the Suda and ps.-Zonaras present this headword as masculine; nevertheless it seems to be neuter; see LSJ s.v. [1] Greek Anthology 6.224.2 (Theodoridas); on a shell found at the seashore, dedicated to Nymphs; …Matched in noteshighshort

α391ἈγχεῖοςnearSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon; this adjective is otherwise unattested (and ignored by LSJ). cf. alpha 394.Matched in noteshighshort

α415Ἀγχούροιςclose-bordering[1] Same glossing in Eudemus and ps.-Zonaras.

α504Ἀδοξεῖταιis disgracefulSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] The second glossing phrase indicates that the subject of the headword -- a single word in the Greek -- is neuter. This makes it probable (though not demonstrable) that …Matched in noteshighshort

α506Ἀδορατίαnon-deploymentThe headword, attested only here and in ps.-Zonaras (though Adler cites a comparable entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon), literally means "spearlessness", from do/ru, "spear": see delta 1394, and cf. delta 1378 for the diminutive …Matched in noteshighshort

α548Ἀελπέωνun-hoping, despairingThe headword a)elpe/wn is similarly glossed in ps.-Zonaras, i.e. in a way which shows that it is a present participle in the masculine nominative singular. (Adler reports the same entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon.) …Matched in noteshighshort

α556Ἀερέθονταιthey drive onSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. Hesychius alpha1385 has the same headword but different glossing: ai)wrou=ntai, kre/mantai. Latte ad loc. regards it as being quoted from Homer, Iliad …Matched in noteshighshort

α557Ἀεργηλήnon-workingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is feminine nominative singular of the epic/poetic adjective a)erghlo/s, perhaps (though not demonstrably) generated by the feminine genitive singular a)erghla=s in the quotation given. [1] cf. Hesychius' glossing …Matched in noteshighshort

α562Ἀερόενairy, cloudy, murkySame entry in ps.-Zonaras; longer one in Hesychius, who gives two other synonyms before the present one (me/lan, baqu/). An oddity; possibly a gloss on the occurrence of the neuter singular headword in a …Matched in noteshighshort

α563Ἀερονηχεῖςair-swimmingA slip, here and in ps.-Zonaras. Aristophanes does use this mock-tragic adjective, in Clouds 337, but of birds; a scholiast there simply says "the ones swimming in the air". See web address 1.Matched in noteshighshort
