α657Ἀήμεναιto blowSame entry in Hesychius, ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword occurs twice in Homer: Latte on Heschius s.v. asserts that it is quoted here from Odyssey 3.156, but there may …Matched in noteshighshort

α658Ἀηνέςaenes, (?)never-endingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one in Hesychius alpha1513, with three glosses -- the first as here, then la/bron (sic: "turbulent") and a)/qlion ("wretched"). The headword, neuter singular, must be quoted from somewhere but …Matched in noteshighshort

α683ἌϊθεςAithes, AethesAttested only here and in ps.-Zonaras, whose entry is 'Aithes and Aines, peoples'. (For the latter see alpha 685.) Perhaps a faulty version of Aithikes (alphaiota 123).Matched in noteshighshort

α717Ἀθεωρητίunobservedly[1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras 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 …Matched in noteshighshort

α719Ἀθέρεςchaff, stalksSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (703); more informatively in e.g. Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon. The headword, nominative plural of the masculine noun a)qh/r, might be quoted from somewhere but, …Matched in noteshighshort

α721Ἀθερώσσει(?)lies awakeSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one, according, to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon, where however the headword is a)qrw/ssei rather than this a)qerw/ssei. Either way, the verb is otherwise unattested.Matched in noteshighshort

α753Ἀθρήνηathrene, anthrene, hornetSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (744). See also alpha 2524 ("a type of wasp"), with the more common spelling of the word beginning an-. (LSJ gives only the …Matched in noteshighshort

α764ἌθρυπτοςunbrokenLikewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is the masculine/feminine nominative singular (here feminine: see next note) of the two-termination adjective a)/qruptos; cf. theta 519, theta 520, theta 521. [1] The second, third and fourth of …Matched in noteshighshort

α770Ἀθυρογλωττίαimpudent loquacitySame headword -- a single word in the Greek -- in ps.-Zonaras but glossed as 'nonsense' (fluari/a). For this term -- literally playfulness of the tongue -- see e.g. Polybius 8.10.1 (criticizing this in …Matched in noteshighshort

α776Ἀκάθαρτοςimpure, unclean, uncleansed[1] While the headword itself could be either masculine or feminine (singular) in gender, this glossing word is feminine. Perhaps, therefore, the origin of the entry -- also in ps.-Zonaras -- was a comment …Matched in noteshighshort

α777Ἀκαθαίρετοςimpregnable, irrefragableSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] If this phrase is the quotation is appears to be, it is unidentifiable. (But the glossing word, a)kata/blhtos, is used of towers in a scholion to Euripides, Hecuba 1.)Matched in noteshighshort
