- κ846Καταφάσκειaffirms… (without actively endorsing) Dindorf's suggestion that it is quoted from Philo Judaeus, Legum allegoriarum libri 3.85. cf. kappa 843, kappa 844, kappa 845.
- δ1224Διῴδειused to swell with anger… be quoted from somewhere, perhaps (as Latte on Hesychius suggests) Philo Judaeus, Legatio ad Gaium 254. LSJ entry at web address 1; and cf delta 1225, delta 1274, delta 1275.

- ε118Ἔγκοτονspite, spiteful… may be that this primary headword too is extracted from Philo Judaeus (Legatio in Gaium 260), though Theodoridis opts for Herodotus 3.59.4. [2] Likewise in Hesychius (epsilon253) and elsewhere. Latte claims it as quoted …

- ε2099Ἐπευωνίζωνlowering a price… 29.269b) but there are several other possibilities (in e.g. Plutarch, Philo Judaeus, Cassius Dio). The gloss assumes a (common-sense) principle that lowering the price increases sales volume.
