- 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, …
- 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, …
- α1799Ἀναβαλλόμενοςdeferring, postponing, putting offAfter the grammatical point, the first and principal part of this entry differentiates between the present middle participle and the aorist middle participle (both of them masculine nominative singulars) of a)naba/llw (here bearing different …
- μ471Μέλδοντεςmelting downThe headword me/ldontes -- presumably extracted from the first quotation given (which is its only attestation outside the Suda) -- is the present active participle, masculine nominative plural, of the verb me/ldw, I soften …
- α2000Ἀναπεμπάζεινto ponder, to calculate, to count overSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar ones in Photius (s.v. a)napempa/zesqai) and Hesychius (s.v. a)napempa/zei and a)napempazo/menoi, on the second of which see below). [1] The Aeolic form for pe/nte "five" is pe/mpe -- both …
- α201Ἀγέροπτοςunseen(?)A problematic entry. The headword itself is a)ge/roptos in most Suda mss and also in Hesychius, but a)ge/ropos in ms T and also in ps.-Zonaras. (Both versions are otherwise unattested, and not in LSJ.) …
- δ14Δαϊκταμένοιςto the war-dead, for the war-deadLikewise in ps.-Zonaras. LSJ registers the word dai+kta/menos, -h, -on -- originally two words: dai+/ + kta/menos -- in Homer, Iliad 21.146 & 301. In both contexts it is genitive plural (part of the …
- μ470Μελδόμενοςbeing boiled-down, being melted-downThe headword meldo/menos is the present middle/passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb me/ldw I soften by boiling. It is quoted here (and in other lexica) from Homer, Iliad 21.363 (web address 1 …
- κ1890ΚνυζώμενονwhimperingFor this verb see already kappa 1889, and again kappa 1891. The present headword (evidently quoted from somewhere) is its present middle/passive participle, masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular. [1] Same gloss in …
- α3523Ἀποσκευαζόμενοςdiscarding, discounting, disowning, jettisoning[1] For this verb cf. generally alpha 3059. Its present participle (masculine nominative singular), here, must be quoted from somewhere; same or similar glossing in other lexica. [2] Quotation unidentifiable--but Alcibiades is evidently alpha …
- 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 …
- α1767ἈμφίσκωI surroundSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon; Hescyhius has the nominative plural participle a)fi/skontes (presumably quoted from somewhere) glossed with e)nduo/menoi.
- 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. …
- δ1607Δυσδιόρθωτοςhard to be set rightSimilarly, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1142). The same entry is to be found in Hesychius delta2550, but with different glossing: dusxerw=s diwrqou/menos, mh\ diwrqou/menos. While the headword has its origin during …
- δ1640ΔυσθετήσαςdissatisfiedThe headword (presumably extracted from the first quotation given) is the aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular, of dusqete/w. In fact this verb occurs almost exclusively in participle forms in all periods (mainly in …
- δ240ΔέομοςconstraintSame entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The form de/omos is otherwise unattested, but Hesychius has entries for de/hmos (delta422) and, apparently, deo/menos (delta651) with the same glossing. (LSJ prints the latter.)
- 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 …
- 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 …
- χ414Χοροῖσι τῶν τραγῳδιῶν ἄχθεταιhe is grieved at the choruses of the tragediansAristophanes, Birds 787-788 (web address 1: the Suda's e)kpeto/menos needs for metrical reasons to be e)kto/menos), immediately preceded by an explanation from the scholia to 787. The rephrasing and presentation of this quotation as …
- 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 …
- κ2187Κουρίξby the hairEpic/poetic adverb, cited here from Homer, Odyssey 22.188: "they dragged him in by the hair" (web address 1). The scholia thereto define it more clearly (after Aristarchus) as th=s ko/mhs e)pilabo/menoi "they grabbing the …
- κ478Καταβελεῖςarrow-struckThe manuscripts are not in agreement over the gender of the participle in the gloss here, and if deca/menoi is preferred the origin of the headword is perhaps Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 9.21.4.
- λ539ΛιλαίομαιI desire earnestlyThough the form of the entry (paralleled in other lexica) is paradigmatic, this first-person singular does occur in Homer (Iliad 13.253, Odyssey 15.308); the present gloss, however, reflects the scholia to Iliad 3.133, where …
- α3443Ἀπομορξάμενονhaving wiped offSame entry in other lexica -- doubtless from scholiastic comment on Aristophanes, Acharnians 696, where the headword participle appears (of a man wiping off sweat). The glossing participle is obelized by Theodoridis (on Photius, …
- ι582Ἰππούμενοςridden downVariant reading at Aristophanes, Knights 924 (web address 1), with scholion. See also Photius, Lexicon iota187 Theodoridis At iota 585 this passage is quoted with the participle i)pou/menos "weighed down."
- 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] …
- 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 …
- δ468Δημοῦσθαιto talk popularlySame entry in other lexica, including Photius, who cites Plato for this sense of the verb (= Theaetetus 161E, which has the participle dhmou/menon; cf. the scholia there). [1] See delta 444. [2] This …
- ε3194Ἑσπόμενοςhaving followedThe headword is aorist participle, masculine nominative singular of e(/pomai (a verb cognate with Latin sequor). It is probably quoted from Homer, Iliad 13.570; cf. the scholia there. Compare also the scholia on Iliad …
- 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 …
