- κ190Καλὰ δὴ παταγεῖςyou are hitting very well… the passage. Same or similar entries in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The idiom has been taken (in LSJ and elsewhere) to derive from a noisy sort of game, platagh/ or platagw/n (sic); …

- μ477Μέλεοςidle, miserable… already the gloss in Homer, Iliad 23.795, Hesychius mu678, and Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. [2] i.e. Homer ("the Poet") uses the word to mean "idle" (LSJ s.v. me/leos I), e.g. at Iliad 16.336 (see the …
- δ486Δήπουθενdoubtless, presumably… entry -- repeated, oddly, at its end -- derives from Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon s.v. (which has itself probably been generated by either Plato, Ion 534A or Philebus 62E). [1] This alternative gloss, repeated at …
- ε2090Ἐπεσφάλακενwas toppledThe entry is taken from Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 986a line 22, though -- as is often the case with that mis-titled work -- the headword does not occur in the extant corpus of Plato. …
- δ1588Δυσαλθέςhard to cure… here without the definite article to/. Identical entry also in Timaeus Sophista, Platonic Lexicon s.v., probably from a scholion to [Plato], Axiochus 367B, which could be the original source. Note, nevertheless, the same neuter …
- α1467Ἀμαθέστεροςmore ignorant, rather ignorant… Photius); cf. already alpha 1466 and again alpha 1469. In Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon both a)maqe/steros and a)maqh/s share this glossing, which suggests that a)maqe/steros also (cf. below) comes from Plato; if so, from Republic …
- 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 …
- α3775Ἀργιλλώδηςclayey, clay-like… Ambrosian Lexicon. [2] Likewise or similarly in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. Perhaps stemming from the Arabian and Syrian gh=n ... a)rgilwdeste/rhn in Herodotus 2.12.3. [3] Greek Anthology 7.194.3 (Mnasalces), an epitaph for …
- ε232ἘδιδαξάμηνI had [someone] taught… delta 857. [1] Thus far the entry = one in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon (sic).
- ε584Ἔκπλυτονwashed-out… Lexicon epsilon478), evidently because it appears as a totality in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. Thus the source of the headword is probably Plato, Laws 872E, where it is used figuratively of a miasma. (Nevertheless see …
- ε3981Ἐχέγγυοςsecure, security-providing, trustworthy… elements also in Photius, Lexicon epsilon2482; second one (only) in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. [3] Thucydides 3.46.1 (web address 1): Diodotus exhorts the Athenians not to trust in the death penalty 'as if it could …
- ε2624Ἐπιστήματαmonuments… The Suda's plural is also, with the same gloss, in Timaeus's Platonic Lexicon, and thus more probably extracted from Plato, Laws 958E, than from the quotation given here. [2] Aelian fr. 73f Domingo-Forasté (70 …
- α833Ἀκέραιονunblemished… also Lexicon Vindobonense alpha134). [1] This phrase (also found in Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon s.v. a)ke/raioi) seems to mean "the man without blemish". The form kh/ras is impossible from kh/r and would be the genitive …
- κ1924Κολλάβουςcakes, rolls… on Aristophanes, Frogs 507 (web address 1). [2] Likewise in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; also a scholion on Plato, Republic 531B (web address 2; cf. kappa 1957). See also a scholion on Lucian (61.2 Rabe).

- δ1535Δρόμοις[in] races… King Ptolemy II Euergetes (SIG 463.14). Note, nevertheless, that in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon the gloss is simply toi=s gumnasi/ois, suggesting a wider application. (Plato, Phaedrus 227A-B, perhaps lies behind Timaeus' entry.) [2] The quotation …
- β93Βάναυσοςvulgar, mechanical, banausic, plebeian… of the word. [1] Polybius 12.13.9-10, on the critique of Timaeus (tau 602) of the complaints made by Demochares (delta 472) against Demetrius of Phaleron (delta 429), benign dictator of Athens 317-307 BCE.

- κ2100Κοροπλάθοιfigurine-makers, modellers[1] Likewise in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon (and Photius, Lexicon kappa974 Theodoridis); generated, presumably, by Plato, Theaetetus 147B, where the genitive plural of this noun occurs (web address 1). See also under omicron 397. [2] …
- γ63Γαργαλίζειtitillates… [1] Same glossing of this headword is other lexica, including Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon; it is probably extracted from Plato, Philebus 47A. ("Insinuates", u(poshmai/nei, has been seen as an error for u(posai/nei "fawns on" in …
- α2727Ἀντιστρόφουςcounterparts… Plato: see next note). [1] Likewise in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; this suggests (without guaranteeing) that the headword is quoted from Plato, Republic 616A. [2] Alexander of Aphrodisias, Commentary on Aristotle's Topica …
- κ146Κάκηbadness[1] Besides Photius, Lexicon kappa80 Theodoridis, cf. Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon. See Plato, Phaedrus 247B, Menexenus 246B, and Republic 5.468A. [2] Aelian fr. 155 Domingo-Forasté (152 Hercher). Without a context, it is unclear which lawgiver …
- α3642Ἀποφράδες ἡμέραιtaboo days, unmentionable days[1] So too in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; from the scholia to Plato, Laws 800D, where the phrase occurs. [2] Appian, Italica fr. 6; again, with variants, at epsilon 781. [3] Likewise …
- α4161Ἄσκαντοςpallet[1] Similarly in Hesychius and other lexica (including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon) -- though glossing a)ska/nths, not the Suda's a)/skantos (which occurs only here). [2] cf. kappa 307. [3] From the scholia to a line …
- β104Βαρβαρίζειbehaves like a barbarian[1] Same gloss in Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon, and Photius, Lexicon beta63; cf. generally alpha 3728. On the concept of "barbarian" in Greek thought, see OCD(4) s.v. (p.223). [2] Plato, Alcibiades 1 120B, where the …
- κ1207Καὶ τάχα ἴμενand we (will) go quickSame entry in Photius (Lexicon kappa76 Theodoridis), and already in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon, which correctly has future poreuso/meqa in the gloss. Both of the principal words in the headword phrase would have been obscure …
- ε1841Ἐξωμοσίαdenial-on-oath, exomosia… under epsilon 1840. The present, two-part entry draws first on Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon (the verb cognate with the headword occurs in Laws 949A) and then on a lexicon of Athenian legal terminology. [1] For …
