ε3640Εὐπάρυφαfinely-bordered… purple borders; however, the only unequivocal authority for that is Photius, Lexicon epsilon2282, which seems to be a description of the Roman laticlavium, an ornament to which the headword certainly might refer, but not …Matched in noteshighmedium

α3224Ἄπλαστοςunfashioned, unfeigned[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius alpha2434 Theodoridis. The headword is taken to be quoted from the Septuagint (Genesis 25.27). [2] Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 80 Zintzen = Photius, …Matched in noteshighshort

αι279Αἴρασθαιto liftSame entry in Photius and elsewhere [1] The headword is an aorist middle infinitive, more correctly a)/rasqai than the Suda's ai)/rasqai. (Theodoridis on Photius s.v. obelizes it). The quotation from Cratinus -- see next …Matched in noteshighshort

δ351Δεινοίclever (ones), terrible (ones)… address 1), on Belisarius and his stepson (and adopted son) Photius. [NB: Adler spoils the sense by printing 'all' as nominative, not accusative.] Abbreviated at kappa 728. When he had learned that his wife …Matched in noteshighshort

δ470ΔημόφιλοςDemophilos, Demophilus… Philostorgius, vagueness in Christology was reprehensible even among fellow heterousians. Photius provides another item from Philostorgius' report of Demophilus' teachings: in a sermon at Constantinople he said that the Lord's body was swallowed up …Matched in noteshighlong

δ510ΔιαβούλομαιI thoroughly wishLikewise in Photius (and ps.-Zonaras). However, the headword verb does not occur in Thucydides -- as first noted by F.L. Abresch (1699-1782) -- and is in fact unattested anywhere outside lexicography; it is also …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1111Δικτάτωρdictator… further, next note. [2] Likewise -- both elements -- in Photius (see further, next note) and other lexica. But these are late applications of the headword noun; for its earlier, literal sense see e.g. …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1425Δούπησενcrashed=Synagoge delta353; Photius, Lexicon delta730. The headword is third person singular, aorist indicative active, of doupe/w, denominative verb from dou=pos (delta 1426). It is probably quoted, as Theodoridis on Photius asserts, from Homer, Iliad …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1445Δωδωναῖον χαλκεῖονDodonian bronzeAlso in Photius, Lexicon delta866 Theodoridis (though the Suda adds the first, paroemiographer-like sentence) and cf. generally delta 1446, delta 1447. For the present headword phrase, cross-referenced at chi 37, see the paroemiographers (who …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε692Ἐκτρυχωθείςworn-out… the text. As a whole, the entry = Synagoge epsilon257, Photius epsilon528 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius epsilon769. Both the headword and the two glosses are aorist passive participles in the masculine nominative singular. The spelling …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1055Ἐμποίνιμοςpunishable… already epsilon 1054. [1] Similarly glossed in other lexica, e.g. Photius’ Lexicon epsilon760, where the Suda's klasqe/nti is drasqe/nti, “for a murder which has been committed” (and cf. the Suda ed.pr., with praxqe/nti, identical …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1668Ἐξεταζόμενοςbeing examined[1] = Synagoge epsilon516, Photius epsilon1180; cf. generally epsilon 1667, epsilon 1669 (where the pertinence of the third gloss is clarified somewhat). The present headword participle, from the verb e)ceta/zw (epsilon 1667), must be …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2147Ἐπεισφοραῖςby additional contributions, with additional contributions= Synagoge epsilon602, Photius epsilon1404. The transmitted headword purports to be the dative plural of e)peisfora/, a word not recognized by LSJ but arguably synonymous with ei)sfora/ (cf. epsiloniota 330). Outside lexicography, the word …Matched in noteshighshort

η33Ἦ γάρn'est-ce pas? no?Same entry in Photius and in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The headword phrase is an appeal for confirmation, very common in Plato; Theodoridis on Photius s.v. offers Meno 97A and Theaetetus 160E exempli gratia.Matched in noteshighshort

η148Ἠθάδωνaccustomed to… h)qa/s. It might be extracted from the quotation given, though Photius et. al. do not have it, and there are other possibilities in Euripides, Aristophanes and Demosthenes. Theodoridis (on Photius) notes Naber's tentative opinion …Matched in noteshighshort

κ32Καθάπαξonce and for all… separately or together, in other lexica. See the references at Photius kappa13, where Theodoridis cautiously endorses Naber's view that the headword adverb itself is extracted from Homer, Odyssey 21.349. [2] Quotation not identified by …Matched in noteshighshort

κ522Καταδείσαςhaving come to fear greatlyLikewise in two adjacent entries (kappa242 and 243 Theodoridis) of Photius.
