α1733Ἀμφίκοροςmiddle childThe first part of this double entry is also in Hesychius; the second part is in Photius, Lexicon alpha1341 -- but glossing there the present primary headword. Note also Hesychius s.v. a)mfi/kouron, glossed a)mfote/rwqen …Matched in noteshighshort
α549Ἀελπτέοντεςhaving no hope… a)/elptos; occurs only in the participle. [1] Same glossing in Hesychius and Etym.Magn. 20.23. Latte in his Hesychius edition regards the participle as coming from the source that the Suda goes on to quote …

α550Ἄελπτονbeyond expectation, unexpected, unhoped-for… pi 1281. [2] Same gloss in Apollonius the Sophist; cf. Hesychius. See also alpha 551. [3] In Hesychius, as at pi 1281, this is the gloss for periskele/s.Matched in noteshighshort

α645Ἀείφρουροςalways on watch, everlastingSame entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.

α864Ἀκήλητονinexorable[1] Similarly already in Hesychius alpha2370. The headword, masculine accusative singular of this adjective (as the Suda's second gloss, not in Hesychius, shows), is evidently quoted from somewhere; perhaps, though not demonstrably, the epigram …Matched in noteshighshort

α1113Ἀλεκινός(?)strongThe headword, variously alekinos and (in Hesychius) alikinos, is unattested outside lexicography. Latte on Hesychius s.v. marks it as corrupt and opines that it should be alkimos; cf. alpha 1285.Matched in noteshighshort

α2423Ἀνῆπταιhas been fastened upSame entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. Hesychius has a parallel one for a)nh/fqw (quoted from Homer, Odyssey 12.51 = 12.162). The Suda's a)nh=ptai -- also in Hesychius but with different glossing …Matched in noteshighshort

α2767Ἄντρονgrottocf. alpha 2765, alpha 2766. [1] Same glossing in Hesychius and elsewhere. [2] Same glossing in other lexica. Latte on Hesychius s.v. takes the adjective (masculine accusative singular) to be quoted from the Septuagint …Matched in noteshighshort

α2929Ἀπαρτίανchattels, household utensils, moveables… quoted from somewhere, is in the accusative case. See also Hesychius alpha5817: a)parti/an: meta/basin, a)poskeuh/n, te/los, a)partismo/n.

χ223Χεύμασιin streams= Hesychius chi380, Synagoge chi65. The headword, dative plural of chi 222, is evidently quoted from somewhere; Cunningham and Hansen, in their edition of Hesychius, adduce Euripides Electra 152.Matched in noteshighshort

χ361Χνοῦςchaff, powder, fuzz, down, veneer… xno/os; cf. under epsilon 148, mu 196, and see also Hesychius s.v. Perhaps extracted here from Sophocles (fr.1115 Radt) or Aristophanes (Clouds 978), though Adler links it with Psalms 1:4 LXX on the basis …Matched in noteshighshort

α464Ἀδηνέωςunpremeditatedly, without maliceLikewise or similarly in other lexica, beginning with Hesychius.

α555Ἀέξετοwas growing, was waxingSame entry in Hesychius alpha1374; similar ones elsewhere, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, which goes on to quote Homer, Odyssey 10.93 (where the headword occurs, of a wave). The headword is unaugmented imperfect middle form …Matched in noteshighshort
