ε714Ἐκφορούμενοιbeing carried outThe headword (which must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested) is present middle/passive participle, masculine nominative plural, of e)kfore/w. Earlier lexica have other glosses, such as korennu/menoi, 'being satiated'; see Photius …Matched in noteshighshort

ε718Ἔκφρωνwitlesscf. epsilon 716, epsilon 717. [1] Similar glossing already in Hesychius (epsilon1807). [2] Quotation unidentifiable in this precise form, but very like what Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 12.531F-532A (12.42 Kaibel), citing Theopompus (FGrH 115 F31), says …Matched in noteshighshort

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 …Matched in noteshighshort

ε994Ἐμπαλασσόμενοιentangled with one another[1] cf. the scholia to the passage which follows. [2] Thucydides 7.84.3-4: web address 1. (NB: Adler punctuates after 'river', but editors of Thucydides as above.) Probably unconsciously, Thucydides here echoes Herodotus 7.85.2, on …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1022ἘμπλασσόμενοιhittingThe same headword, as transmitted, as epsilon 1021 (q.v.) -- but see n.2 below. [1] Present participle, masculine nominative plural, presumably extracted from the quotation given. [2] Aelian fr. 250d Domingo-Forasté. Adler's note reads: …Matched in noteshighshort

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 …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1140Ἐναύλισμαabode, quartersNeuter noun related to the verb epsilon 1139 and epsilon 1324. Same gloss in some lexica, but Hesychius epsilon2698 has a fuller one: newsti\ geno/meno/n ti oi)/khma, "recently built". Instances in Artemidorus, Theophylact Simocatta, …Matched in noteshighshort

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 …Matched in noteshighshort

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. …Matched in noteshighshort

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 …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1954ἘπαναβαίνωI go up onLexicon Syntacticum Laurentianum 36.3 also says that this verb is construed with the dative and the genitive, but cf. epsilon 1958. The entry is absent from ms.T. [1] Quotation (also in ps.-Zonaras) unidentifiable. [2] …Matched in noteshighshort

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 …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2140ἘπεισκρινόμενονsupplementingThe headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is the present participle, masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular, of the doubly compound verb e)peiskri/nomai.

ε2172Ἐπηλυγασάμενοςovershading= Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 986b.3-4. The headword (aorist middle participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb e)phluga/zw) appears in Plato, Lysis 207b (web address 1), although most mss of Plato (and hence most modern …Matched in noteshighshort

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 …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2907Ἐργολάβοςcontractor; profit-maker[1] For this usual meaning of e)rgola/bos as "contractor" (clearly from the noun e)/rgon and the verb lamba/nein), see e.g. Plato, Republic 373B; Plutarch, Pericles 31; and many epigraphical attestations. LSJ entry at web …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε3194Ἑσπόμενοςhaving followedThe headword is aorist participle, masculine nominative singular of e(/pomai (a verb cognate with Latin sequor). It is probably quoted from Homer, Iliad 13.570; cf. the scholia there. Compare also the scholia on Iliad …Matched in noteshighshort

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.Matched in noteshighshort

ε3695ΕὐριπίδηςEuripidesProbably 480s - after 408 BCE; see generally John Gould in OCD(4) s.v. For a balanced and succinct investigation of Euripidean lore (with ample sourcing), see the Introduction (1-49) by David Kovacs in Euripides: …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε3836Εὐψύχουςspirited, stout-heartedThe headword, accusative plural, is presumably extracted from the quotation given. cf. generally epsilon 3834, epsilon 3835, epsilon 3837, epsilon 3838a. [1] C. Theodoridis in his Photius edition (vol.II p.LXXXI) plausibly identifies this as …Matched in noteshighshort

ει57Εἰκάζωνconjecturing, comparing… always a certainty with Timaeus -- the likely context is Meno 98B. [2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler suggests Aelian.) The transmitted plural fa/smata may be corrected either to the singular fa/sma or better (as suggested …Matched in noteshighshort

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 …Matched in noteshighshort
