- α1882Ἀναθρώσκειsprings up… of the headword verb appears. (Likewise Hesychius s.v.) The headword itself, however, must be quoted from somewher else -- perhaps Herodotus (3.64.2 or 7.18.1).
- β36Βαθυπέπλωνof long-robed [women]… helpfully explain that it refers to women. The headword adjective itself is characteristic of late epic (Nonnus, Quintus); see also epsilon 3574.

- α4091Ἀρχήauthority, rule… it] half of everything as the proverb says. [It was] itself the whole of everything."

- α2459Ἀνιέρειοςvictimless (offering)[1] Same glossing in Photius and elsewhere. The headword itself is unattested outside lexicography. [2] LSJ s.v. cites instances from tragedy.
- α3311Ἀποθανεῖνto die"If someone should know the thing itself and by division of the concept resolve its associated ideas, no longer will it be supposed to be anything other than a process of nature. But if …
- α4380Ἀτραπιτόςpath, walk… in ps.-Herodian 176, and similarly elsewhere. For the headword a)trapito/s itself see Homer, Odyssey 13.195 (plural) and generally LSJ s.v. [2] Here in fact accusative plural, presumably quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities.
- α2714Ἀντιπέτρου βήματοςrock-like base… your foot beyond that rock-like base". "Bronze" [is] the material itself; a "brazen" statue [is] the derivative adjective, like "gold" and "golden".
- α4530Αὐτοτελήςself-sufficient… no appeal to another [suit]. And [it is] absolutely authoritative itself.
- δ223Δεξαμενήreceptacle… sanctuary of Wisdom and sat unexpectedly in the sacred receptacle itself [...] But even from there [Theodora] was able to drag her off." That is, the table which receives the sacred articles.

- μ952Μῆνιγξdura mater; meninx… This air, then, receiving noises from the outside air and itself having an ability to conduct sound, transmits the sounds through itself into the meninx. It goes on from the rather wide passageway of …
- δ100Δαφνίνην φορῶ βακτηρίανI am carrying a laurel staffZenobius 3.12, and other paroemiographers. The proverbial phrase itself is the bulk (minus the opening) of an iambic trimeter.
- α446Ἀδέψητονuntanned, undressed… Hesychius the same headword but with different glossing. The headword itself, neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective, is doubtless quoted from Homer, Odyssey 20.2 (cf. 142), of leather, though note that in Apollonius Rhodius, …
- α717Ἀθεωρητίunobservedly… and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (785). The adverb itself is perhaps quoted from Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 1.9.2. [2] From Harpokration s.v., who cites Antiphon the Sophist (87 B67 Diels-Kranz) for the word.
- α2680Ἀντιλογιῶνdisputations… for this genitive plural (web address 1 below); the noun itself does occur in book 1, but in the accusative singular (1.31.4, 1.73.1). [2] Aristophanes, Clouds 321 (web address 2).
- α3477Ἀπόπειραtrial… fire. Unless it satisfies the test, through which the thing itself is a test, this eagerness only pretends to exist and lies in wait for flighty youthful whims. Me at any rate it hindered, …
- α1075Ἀλλαρίοις(with) victuals… the particular Makedonios cannot be identified, and the headword noun itself is attested only here and in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras.
- α2885Ἁπαλοὶ θερμολουσίαις ἁβροὶ μαλθακευνίαιςsoft men in hot baths [and] delicate men in soft beds… mu 107.) Same entry in other lexica. The headword phrase itself is Comica adespota fr. 56 Kock, now 555 K.-A.; proverbial in the paroemiographers.
- α3659Ἀποψοφιεῖνto break wind… diapnei=n and a)popnei=n usually mean "to exhale". For farting, pe/rdesqai, itself see alpha 385, alpha 3029, and generally J. Henderson, The Maculate Muse (New Haven 1975) 195-9.
- α875ἈκιδαλίαAkidalia, Acidalia… nymph of the spring? In any event, the Akidalia spring itself is mentioned at the end of the long fragment of the Plokamides (Braids), by the hellenistic poet Menophilus of Damascus, preserved in Stobaeus …
- α3471Ἀπὸ πέντε ἅλλεσθαι πετρῶν εἰς κῦμαto leap from five rocks into a wavecf. Diogenianus 1.80, where however the proverb itself ends (improbably) "into a cudgel".
- χ339Χλιδανόνluxuriant… from somewhere but is not independently attested. On the adjective itself, with early instances in lyric poetry (Sappho fr.60 Lobel-Page) and tragedy (Aeschylus, Persae 544), see generally LSJ s.v.
- α2541Ἀνθυπομοσίαcounter-affidavit… both the word which generates the comment and the comment itself are finite verbs. (Also, in classical usage, the second vowel of this word-family is always omega, never omicron.) [2] Demosthenes 48.25 (web address …
- α2381Ἀνείμουν τοῖς δόρασινthey were hauling (each other) up with their spears… toi=s do/rasi), but omitting 'each other' and with the verb itself as the unparalleled a)nei/moun rather than a)ni/mwn -- correctly at alpha 2471 (and in Photius s.v.)
- χ359Χνόαςnaves, hubs… hole of a wheel; and the hole of the wheel itself is so called [i.e. xno/h, "nave"]. It is pronounced with recessive accent; for disyllabic [nouns] ending in the vowel eta after omicron -- …
- α2855Ἀωρόλειοςunseasonably-smooth… other lexica; from Phrynichus, Praeparatio sophistica (fr. 295). The headword itself occurs in Cratinus fr. 10 Kock, now 11 K.-A. (genitive plural). [2] See omega 95.
- α3944Ἀρθρέμβολαarthrembola… speech In praise of the Maccabees; and indeed the headword itself is surely quoted from 4 Maccabees 8.13 LXX. LSJ s.v. gives references both for this meaning and for a more benign, medical one …
