- ε2002Ἐπαφώμενονtouching uponThe headword is present middle participle, masculine accusative or neuter nominative/accusative singular, of e)pafa/w. The participle used to gloss it is in the same form, but the form of the headword that appears in …
- ε551Ἐκπαγλούμενοιbeing struckSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. For this verb see already epsilon 550. In the present instance the participle (presumably extracted from the quotation given) is masculine nominative plural. Construed with an accusative, the verb has …
- κ54Καθεσταμένοςhaving been appointedThe headword is perfect middle/passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb kaqi/sthmi (for which see also kappa 53, kappa 113, kappa 114, kappa 115). [1] Perhaps [KK] an approximation of Josephus, Jewish Antiquities …
- κ198Καλαμώμενοςstalk-binding, reaping[1] Same or similar entry in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa107 Theodoridis. The headword is the masculine nominative singular, present middle participle, of the verb kalama/w; see also kappa 194, kappa …
- ε2075ἘπέρωI inquireThis entry does not reflect attested literary usage, not even that of the Byzantine period. The verbal stem of which the headword seems to be a compound (e)/romai), occurs only in the middle. The …
- δ1093Δίκηςof justiceThe headword is the genitive singular of the noun di/kh (delta 1089, delta 1090, etc.), evidently quoted from somewhere, although not from either of the quotations given; perhaps from commentary to Aristophanes, Clouds 764 …
- κ1009Κατευθικτήσαςhaving hit exactlySame entry in Photius, Lexicon kappa449 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius kappa1711 (with the gloss a(ya/menos). The verb appears only at 2 Maccabees 14:43 LXX, in this form, the aorist participle active, and with this meaning. …
- κ1894Κοάλεμοςblockhead, dolt, dunceSee also kappa 1893. The folk etymology is taken from the scholia to Aristophanes, Knights 198, where the invective is used. Other derivations combine koei=n with a)lw/menos "wandering" (Suetonius, *peri\ blasfhmiw=n 7), a)/lema "vain" …
- ε735Ἐλάκησεburst asunder[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is aorist indicative active of laka/w, third person singular. It must be quoted from somewhere -- almost certainly (given the amount of patristic comment on …
- α1652ἈμπέχῃwearingThe SOL text wrongly shows the supplementary headword a)pe/xh|, not the primary one a)mpexo/menos. For the verb a)mpe/xw cf. eta 362. [1] The headword, which has the same glossing in other lexica and is …
- ε3664Εὖ πράττεινdo well, fare well… Letter to Herodotus 35; Letter to Pythocles 83; Letter to Menoeceus 121). The Athenian demagogue Cleon (kappa 1731) seems in odd company here, but see chi 164.

- ε1137Ἐναύεινto supplicate[1] This meaning of the verb e)nau/w, labelled sense C in LSJ s.v., is unattested outside Photius (epsilon824 Theodoridis), the Suda, and ps.-Zonaras. They or their source seem to have confused e)nau/w "kindle" (sense …
- ε1946ἘπάλξειςbattlementsThe headword is the nominative/ accusative plural -- glossed here as nominative -- of the noun e)/palcis. This form of the noun occurs numerous times in Homer's Iliad, e.g. 12.258 (web address 1), and …
- κ2435ΚριόςramFor this headword see also kappa 2434, kappa 2436, kappa 2437, kappa 2438. The present entry closely resembles one in Etymologicum Gudianum 347; see further in notes 1 and 2 below. [1] An attempt …
- δ250ΔέραςskinIncompetently adapted from John of Antioch fr.15.3 FHG (5.548), now 26.3 Roberto; the original has 'Jason and his associates' (justifying the plural participle parageno/menoi which is retained here) and has them taking Medea and …
- η69Ἠγορόωντοthey were meeting in assembly, they were speaking in assemblyThis entry is from the Lexicon Ambrosianum (Ambrosianus B 12 sup. 45 and Laurentianus 59.16 fol. 187r) and its origin is in a scholion to Homer, Iliad 4.1 (describing a meeting of the gods). …
- ε2619Ἐπιστεφέας κρατῆραςcrowned craters, crowned mixing-vesselsThe headword phrase, in the accusative plural, occurs twice in Homer (Iliad 8.232; Odyssey 2.431), but with the order of the words reversed. The comments here are an opaque paraphrase of Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 1.13D-E …
- κ995Κατεσπίλασενburst suddenly upon[1] The headword (presumably extracted from the quotation given) is aorist indicative active, third person singular, of kataspila/zw (in sense II noted by LSJ s.v.). See also under sigma 943. [2] A condensed version …
- δ1402Δορυφορεῖattends (as a bodyguard)The headword is present indicative active, third person singular, of the verb dorufore/w, literally 'carry a spear' or 'be a spear-carrier'. (For the noun cognate with this verb see delta 1403.) It must be …
- κ1856Κναιόμενονbeing scratchedSame or similar entry in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa813 Theodoridis. The headword is present middle/passive participle, masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular, of knai/w, a variant of kna/w. The …
- ει179Εἴργεσθαιto be hindered, to be stoppedFor this verb, cf. epsiloniota 180, epsiloniota 200, epsiloniota 217. [1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword infinitive is presumably quoted from somewhere. [2] Quotation not identified by Adler, but a TLG …
- ε70<20Ἐγκαλινδεῖσθαι σωματικοῖς παθήμασιto wallow in bodily affectionsA marginal gloss mising from mss TFV and misplaced in ms G. Adler tentatively ascribes it to Symeon Metaphrastes. (But see below.) The verb e)gkalindei=sqai, literally meaning to roll around in, occurs occasionally in …
- α2667Ἀντικαταλλαττόμενοςchanging, coming to an agreementThe unglossed headword is the present participle, masculine nominative singular, of the doubly compound verb a)ntikatalla/ttomai. It is quoted from Demosthenes 19.114 -- but oddly this Suda entry, including that very quotation, twice has …
- δ94ΔαυίδDavidSource (after the opening gloss): George the Monk, Chronicon 1.176.10-13, 178.4-11, 179.5-25. Some repetition at omicron 974, and cf. sigma 1035. For David see also delta 95, delta 96. [1] Judaism, as in the …
- ε1560Ἔξαρνοςobstinately denying, obstinate in denying[1] Same gloss at Etymologicum Magnum 346.50; cf. ps.-Zonaras, epsilon755, with gloss a)rnou/menos (Hesychius epsilon3604, Scholia recentiora on Aristophanes, Clouds 1230a). See also ps.-Zonaras iota1124 [ = iota 728], where the same explanation occurs …
- κ1349Κέρα ἀγλαέsplendid horn, splendid hair-styleThe headword phrase is one of the sequence of taunts addressed to Paris by Diomedes [Author, Myth] in the Iliad: 'with your petty lovelocks' (E.V. Rieu). See further below. [1] Küster emended the participle …
- δ1126Διμοιρίτηςdouble-pay soldier, half-file commander[1] See LSJ entry at web address 1. The explanation "half-file commander" offered by the military glossary of ms. Coislin. 347 (whose entries have been picked up from Aelian the Tactician, C2 AD) has …
- ε1564Ἐξαρτήσαςhaving hung onThe headword (evidently quoted from somewhere) is aorist participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb e)carta/w; cf. epsilon 1748, epsilon 1749. See also ps.-Zonaras 766.1, with the same glosses; cf. Etymologicum Gudianum 485.17 s.v. …
