α763Ἄθροισμαaggregate, assemblage, gatheringSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is a neuter noun, here in the nominative/accusative singular, derived from a)qroi/zw (alpha 760, alpha 761). As LSJ's sense II (web address 1), this is a technical term …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

α782ἈκακίαguilelessnessSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword noun is found in classical literature (e.g. [Demosthenes] and Aristotle) as well as ecclesiastical; the glossing one belongs to the vocabulary of the latter only.Matched in noteshighshort

α797ἌκανθαthornTheodoret (PG 80, 1088d-89a) on Psalm 31.4 LXX. Same entry in ps.-Zonaras.Matched in noteshighshort

α802ἈκαρῆinstantSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. See also alpha 801, and cf. alpha 800, epsilon 1102. [1] Same glossing, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. Some of the scholia to Aristophanes, Wasps 701 [see under …Matched in noteshighmedium

α815ἈκαταῖοςAkataios, AcataeusSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is presumably a proper name (so that the gloss means a horse with this particular name); but a possible alternative would be that the headword, in lower case, …Matched in noteshighshort

α816ἈκαταιτίατοςunaccusableSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one already in Hesychius (for the accusative). LSJ s.v. (web address 1) cites 2 passages of Josephus, Jewish War, for this adjective; there are in fact 6 in all.Matched in noteshighshort

α818ἈκάτειραAkateiraAttested only in lexicography. (Besides here, see ps.-Zonaras s.v. and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon.) Conceivably Acadira, in Kashmir; or else, possibly, Agadir in Mauretania (Morocco). alpha 820 seems to be unconnected.Matched in noteshighshort

α822Ἀκαχείατοthey were grievingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. cf. alpha 823, eta 161, eta 162. [1] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 12.179, where the headword occurs (of the gods grieving for Greek casualties); also in Hesychius. [2] …Matched in noteshighshort

α823ἈκαχημένηgrievingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. cf. alpha 822, eta 161, eta 162. [1] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 5.364, where the headword occurs (of the wounded Aphrodite).Matched in noteshighshort

α825ἈκαίηakaineThe headword is transmitted as a)kai/h here, a)kaih/ in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, a)kai/nh in the Ambrosian Lexicon. This last is presumably correct: compare alpha 826 (including 'rod') and cf. Etym. Genuinum alpha286, …Matched in noteshighshort

α830Ἀκενόσπουδονshunning of vain pursuitsSame entity in ps.-Zonaras. The headword -- a single word in the Greek: neuter singular of an adjective which serves as an abstract noun -- is presumably extracted from the quotation given. [1] cf. …Matched in noteshighshort

α840Ἄκεσσαakessa, (?)accessThe headword is attested only here and in the parallel (but shorter) entry in ps.-Zonaras. It perhaps derives, through some historical incident, from the Sicilian city Akessa mentioned by Photius, Lexicon s.v. o)/xos a)kessai=os …Matched in noteshighshort

α860Ἀκηδήςuncared-for, uncaringFor the twin senses of the headword a)khdh/s glossed and illustrated here, see generally LSJ s.v. [1] Similar glossing in Photius and elsewhere. [2] Quotation (also in ps.-Zonaras) unidentifiable. [3] Aelian fr. 241b Domingo-Forasté …Matched in noteshighmedium

α884ἈκινδυνίunhazardouslySame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (two separate entries in the latter: 1106 and 948). The primary headword is otherwise unattested; the secondary one is found in medical …Matched in noteshighshort

α886ἈκινησίαinactivitySame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] cf. eta 493. [2] Arrian, Parthica fr. 65.Matched in noteshighshort

α891ἈκλαυστίunweepinglySame entry in ps/-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (1098). The headword adverb is very rare outside lexica and gramnmars. cf. alpha 423, where the present headword is the gloss.Matched in noteshighshort

α895Ἀκληρήμασι(to) accidentsSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword, dative plural of the neuter noun a)klh/rhma, is presumably extracted from the quotation given. [1] The glosses are the dative plurals of the feminine nouns sumfora/ and dustuxi/a, …Matched in noteshighshort

α897Ἀκληρούντων(of) unfortunatesSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword -- present participle, masculine (or neuter) plural, of the verb a)klhre/w -- is perhaps (though not demonstrably) extracted from the quotation given. cf. generally alpha 895, alpha 896. …Matched in noteshighshort

α907ἌκμηνοςfastingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 19.163, where the headword occurs. Likewise or similarly in other lexica. According to the scholia, the adjective is derived from an Aeolic noun …Matched in noteshighshort

α921Ἄκομψονunadorned, lacking in prestigeThe headword is neuter singular of this adjective, evidently quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, where it is masculine/feminine singular). Under the same lemma Photius, Lexicon alpha791 Theodoridis, begins with the second …Matched in noteshighshort

α924ἈκόνιτονaconiteSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] Same glossing, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1039). [2] Diogenes Laertius 5.8: the third line of a short poem of his own (= Greek Anthology 7.107.3) on …Matched in noteshighshort

α925ἈκοντίinvoluntarilySame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. Headword and gloss are effectively synonymous, but the latter is by far the more common. The headword itself, in fact, is not attested …Matched in noteshighshort

α941Ἀκουσίθεονgod-heardSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword adjective, neuter singular, is presumably extracted from the quotation given. (It is nowhere else attested.) [1] Greek Anthology 6.249.3-4 (Antipater of Thessalonica), the gift of a candle for …Matched in noteshighshort
