α446Ἀδέψητονuntanned, undressedEtymologicum Magnum 16.35 has a longer version of the same entry; Apollonius (Homeric Lexicon) and Hesychius the same headword but with different glossing. The headword itself, neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective, is doubtless …Matched in noteshighshort

α522Ἀδρανίαpowerless… from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities. [2] Same in Etymologicum Magnum 18.51 and elsewhere. [3] Greek Anthology 6.29.2 (Julian, prefect of Egypt). See another excerpt from this epigram at alpha 1235. [4] Greek Anthology …Matched in noteshighshort

α549Ἀελπτέοντεςhaving no hopeDenominative verb from a)/elptos; occurs only in the participle. [1] Same glossing in Hesychius and Etym.Magn. 20.23. Latte in his Hesychius edition regards the participle as coming from the source that the Suda goes …Matched in noteshighshort

α607ἈείalwaysSee also alpha 606. [1] Etym. Magn. 31.24 says 12. [2] Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 1.8.1 -- but referring to his teacher Apollonius of Chalcedon, not to the one from Tyana (alpha 3420). [3] Sophocles …Matched in noteshighshort

α639Ἀείρωνunspoken… should in fact be neuter. Hesychius (alpha1311) and the Etymologicum Magnum (21.43) gloss a)/eiron (or a)/iron) with a)/rrhton as well as a)qw/peuton: this would suggest derivation from the root *wer- as in e)rw=. See …Matched in noteshighshort

α664Ἀήτηςgale… plural occurs. [2] The equivalent entry, post-Suda, in the Etymologicum Magnum (23.29-31) makes no such remark. Presumably what the Suda means is that a/w) is attested only in the imperfect a)/en: see LSJ s.v. …Matched in noteshighshort

α677ἈϊδρείηignoranceSame entry, post-Suda, in Etymologicum Magnum 42.44-47, which goes on to quote Homer, Iliad 7.197-199. The headword -- connected with alpha 678, q.v. -- occurs in the mss of line 198 there (dative case); …Matched in noteshighshort

α761ἈθροίζωI collectSimilar entries in Etymologicum Magnum 26.1 and elsewhere. See also alpha 760. [1] Contraction of qro/os (see alpha 759). [2] "Noise, murmur" as of many voices. [3] Unattested. [4] The order of derivation should …Matched in noteshighshort

α828Ἀκεανόςakeanos… Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon; and see also e.g. Etym. Magn. 46.14. The headword is mentioned, in the accusative plural, in a fragment of Pherecrates (188 Kock, now 201 K.-A.), but it seems to …Matched in noteshighshort

α839Ἀκερσεκόμηςunshorn-hairedLikewise in Hesychius alpha2335 (and, post-Suda, Etymologicum Magnum 46.25). From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 20.39, where the headword is applied to Apollo. Not cutting the hair would imply eternal youth; see generally LSJ …Matched in noteshighshort

α934Ἀκοστήσαςgrain-fed, having fed on grain… scholia there. cf. alpha 935. [1] More intelligibly in Etymologicum Magnum 51.14, where these two terms are simply equivalents. [2] i.e. through the loss of one syllable, a)kosth/sas (the headword) becoming a)kolasth/sas; but the …Matched in noteshighshort

α1040Ἀκοίτηςbedfellow, husband… entries in the Ambrosian Lexicon (857, 996); and cf. Etymologicum Magnum 50.7-9. [2] (Quoted, in all probability, from its only appearance in Homer: Odyssey 10.7.) With long iota in the ending (from *-ins).Matched in noteshighshort

α1315Ἄλογοι ἐρανισταίunaccounted-for club-members… headword phrase in Dinarchus fr. LXIX.2 Conomis. See also Etymologicum Magnum 70.31-33. On eranoi see generally epsilon 2892.

α1622Ἁμορβόςattendant, shepherdSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one, post-Suda, in Etymologicum Magnum 85.24. The headword is attested in Hellenistic and later poetry (Callimachus, Nicander, Oppian). Despite the etymology suggested here, the headword itself and several other …Matched in noteshighshort

α1784Ἀμφόδοντα ζῷαdouble-toothed creatures… History of Animals. See also, for the first part, Etymologicum Magnum 493.9-12, and cf. sigma 1595. [1] For this Aristotelian distinction cf. pi 1605.Matched in noteshighshort

α1788Ἀμφότεροιboth… That is, they make an indefinite noun definite; cf. Etymologicum Magnum 314.53-54.Matched in noteshighshort

α2081Ἀνάστατοςevicted, desolate… references at Photius alpha1670-1671 Theodoridis. [2] Similarly, post-Suda, in Etymologicum Magnum 100.9-10.Matched in noteshighshort

α2858Ἄωρτοhad been hung… Homer, Iliad 3.272, where the headword occurs. [2] (cf. Etymologicum Magnum 117.4.) The lexicographer seems to derive a)/wrto from o)/rnumi, "stir up, excite", as the words listed are forms of that verb: a conjectural …Matched in noteshighshort

α3014ἌπελοςulcerSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one elsewhere, e.g. (post-Suda) Etymologicum Magnum 331.5-6. The headword, a neuter noun, occurs in Callimachus (fr. 343).Matched in noteshighshort
