ε3417Εὐδικίαrighteousness, right dealings… to Homer, Odyssey 19.111, where the accusative plural occurs, and Hesychius s.v. [2] Quotation (and individual) unidentifiable.Matched in noteshighshort
ε3445Εὐεστοῖwell-beingSimilar entry already in Hesychius -- and, post-Suda, in the Etymologicum Magnum --, though nominative singulars there (cf. epsilon 3446). The present entry's dative singular headword must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities include …

hay

[Meaning] the dry and light grass. "They filled the skins they had for tent-covers with hay. Then they gathered the skins and sewed them together, so that the water would not touch the hay." [This form] is used in the…

ε3447Εὐετηρίαplenty, thrivingSame or similar entry in other lexica, beginning with Hesychius epsilon6810. For this headword see also under kappa 878 and chi 300; and cf. more generally epsilon 3445, epsilon 3494, epsilon 3595.Matched in noteshighshort

ε3452Εὔζωνοςwell-girdled… Photius s.v. Theodoridis obelizes ka/llei "in beauty".) [2] Likewise in Hesychius, and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 1.429, where the headword appears in the genitive case.Matched in noteshighshort

ε3457Εὔεικτονpliant, tractableHesychius epsilon6779 has the headword and the first gloss; Photius and other lexica present the entry as neuter singulars (i.e. the glossing is eu)peiqe/s, kalw=s ei)=kon) rather than the Suda's masculine accusative singular. Either …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3496ΕὐθηνῶI thrive, I flourish… Ambrosian Lexicon; very similar one (with present participles) already in Hesychius, where Latte points to the several instances of eu)qhnw=n in the Septuagint. cf. epsilon 3495, and more generally epsilon 3494.Matched in noteshighshort

ε3498Εὔθικτονclever, quick, witty… evidently, quoted from somewhere; perhaps, as suggested by Latte on Hesychius epsilon6871, the Septuagint (2 Maccabees 15.38).Matched in noteshighshort

ε3583Εὐμολπία πολλάκις τῆς ἡμέρας τρεπόμενοςsweet song -- often during the day turning… it, but it needs two corrections. Its origins lie in Hesychius epsilon6994, where eumolpia is glossed with euphonia (as here) and eu(h)ymnia. Later, by the time of the Lexica Segueriana, something longer and more …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3594ΕὐνοϊκῶςfavourablyCommonplace adverb (cf. under epsilon 3760). [1] Likewise already in Hesychius s.v.Matched in noteshighshort

ε3627Εὐώνυμονwell-named… see also lambda 174, lambda 193. [1] Same glossing in Hesychius, where Latte claims the headword itelf as quoted from the New Testament (Acts 21.3, a sea voyage passing Cyprus on the left).Matched in noteshighshort

ε3628Εὐωρίαcarelessness, casualness… abstract noun, has the same glossing in Photius; cf. already Hesychius epsilon7318 (s.v. eu)wrei=n), and epsilon 3630. [1] For glosses of this kind cf. e.g. alpha 2234. Here, as there, the lack of aspiration …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3629Εὔωποςfair to look uponSimilar entry already in Hesychius epsilon7315 (accusative eu)w=pa glossed with eu)o/fqalmon and fi/lon). The Suda's adjective is a variant of eu)w=pis and eu)w/y. For the gloss cf. epsilon 3620.Matched in noteshighshort

ε3630ΕὐωρῶI am careless… conjecture for the transmitted e)cw-) and is also attributed, via Hesychius, to Sophocles (the contextless fr. 561 Radt). For the related noun see epsilon 3628.Matched in noteshighshort

ε3841Ἐφάμιλλονa match for, on a par with… Either way it must be quoted from somewhere; Latte on Hesychius s.v. tentatively suggests Demosthenes 20.102 (feminine accusative there), but there are numerous other possibilities.Matched in noteshighshort

ε3845Ἐφαύλιζονthey were disparaging[1] Likewise in other lexica, beginning with Hesychius. The headword is imperfect of the verb fauli/zw (cf. phi 139), either first person singular or third person plural; the latter if extracted from the quotation …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3848Ἐφεδρείαreserve, succession… glossing is elucidated, as Adler noted, by comparisons with both Hesychius epsilon7368 (where one of the miscellany of synonyms given for ephedros is o( u(f' h(mw=n e)pi/klhros) and glosses on Herodotus 5.41.1 (the wife …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3850Ἔφεδροςreserve, in reserve… Same glossing in other lexica. Photius writes taulistes, as here; Hesychius has the spelling tablistes, pronounced the same (i.e. tavlistes). This would seem to mean a dice-player (cf. pi 1392, tau 7). [2] Aristophanes, …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε3887Ἐφεῖτοadvised[1] Likewise in Hesychius, similarly in Photius (and elsewhere). The headword is aorist middle of e)fi/hmi, third person singular. It is possibly, though not necessarily, extracted from the quotation added here; cf. epsilon 3886. …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3944Ἐφόλκιαtenders, towed-boats[1] So already in Hesychius. [2] This addendum, taken over from Photius, is incomprehensible as it stands; but (as Adler notes) Bachmann pointed out that ps.-Zonaras's version of epsilon 3951 (ephoros) adds 'Also called …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε3946Ἐφορεύεινto overseeSame or similar entry in other lexica -- beginning with Hesychius epsilon7532, which adds 'from the ephors in Sparta'; and cf. also the scholia on Aeschylus, Persians 7, where this present active infinitive occurs. …Matched in noteshighshort

κ98Καθίζεσθεyou are seated… most satisfactory version of the entry is the one in Hesychius kappa170 -- headword kaqi/cesqe, quoted from Exodus 12.22 LXX, glossed with kaqa/yasqe (and krath/sate). For the verb kaqi/zw, see also kappa 1232.Matched in noteshighshort

κ287Καμμονίηendurance… locc.; Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon 94.29; Eustathius ad locc.; and cf. Hesychius kappa603.Matched in noteshighshort

κ289Κάμμοροςill-fated… 297.6, Etymologicum Magnum 488.42; cf. Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon 95.7, and Hesychius kappa604. Found requently in the masculine vocative singular in Homer's Odyssey: e.g. 5.160 (web address 1), 11.216, etc. If the present entry's nominative …Matched in noteshighshort

κ303Κάνδυλοςkandulos, kandylos… 4.172A-C [4.72 Kaibel] = Menander fr. 451 Sandbach; Pollux 6.69; Hesychius kappa648. At least one ancient authority would read ka/ndulon in place of ko/ndulon ('knuckle') at Aristophanes, Peace 123 (Demetrius (?)of Phaleron; cf. scholia …Matched in noteshighshort

κ326Καπανῆταιcords? charioteers?… address 1) implicitly links it with another hapax, kapa/nia, which Hesychius kappa687 glosses as a(rpedo/nes ('cords', 'snares'); hence kapanh=tai might be 'cord-men' or 'snare-men'. But perhaps a better alternative is to connect it with …Matched in noteshighshort

κ357Καρανούσθωlet it be achieved, let it be accomplishedSame entry in other lexica, beginning with Hesychius kappa767. The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested) is the present middle/passive imperative, third person singular, of the rare verb …Matched in noteshighshort

κ416Καρπὸςfruit, seed[1] See already kappa 415. [2] Contrast Hesychius pi1728. [3] cf. John Philoponus, Commentary on Aristotle's de anima 217.33-35 Hayduck. See also kappa 1218.Matched in noteshighshort
