Ἀβάντειος
Abanteios, Abantius, Abantian
Adler cites as a comparandum Lexicon Ambrosianum 22, 23, 28. [1] This suppletion is suggested by the corresponding entry in the Lexicon of pseudo-Zonaras 5.1, which is identical to this entry apart from the …

Ἀβιαδηνός
Abiadenian
No such city is attested, so surely the name in question here is Adiabene (see alpha 470, and generally OCD(4) p.12), even though that is consistently classified as a "territory" (in present-day Iraq) rather …

Ἀβρανῖτις
Abranitis
The term is attested only here and in the equivalent entry in ps.-Zonaras. Perhaps the territory of (or otherwise connected with) Abra in southern Spain: Barrington Atlas map 27 grid A4.

Ἀβρικέστερον
more precise, rather precise.
Adler's textual conservatism led to her printing this a)brike/steron (as indeed the alphabetical order requires; also in ps.-Zonaras). However, she notes that ms S has the correct a)kribe/steron (the comparative of alpha 979/alpha 980).

Ἀβρίξαι
to drop off, to nod off
Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword, presumably quoted from somewhere, is an aorist active infinitive. LSJ proffers no suitable verb for it under alpha, but see the entry on bri/zw, 'to be sleepy, nod'. (Adler …

Ἀγρέμιος

Both the Suda and ps.-Zonaras present this headword as masculine; nevertheless it seems to be neuter; see LSJ s.v. [1] Greek Anthology 6.224.2 (Theodoridas); on a shell found at the seashore, dedicated to Nymphs; …

Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon; this adjective is otherwise unattested (and ignored by LSJ). cf. alpha 394.

Αἴαγμα

The headword, a neuter noun in the nominative/accusative singular, is attested in this form only in lexicography. Euripides uses it numerous times in plural oblique forms, e.g. Alcestis 873 (web address 1). cf. alphaiota …

Likewise in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 11.782F (11.22 Kaibel) cites the hellenistic antiquarian writer Timachidas of Rhodes (tau 599) for what is probably an alternative form of the …

Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (4); and cf. also ps.-Zonaras alpha64.15-16. The name is presumably that of two Greek heroes in the epic cycle: the son of Telamon and the …

As the headword is attested only in lexicography (here, ps.-Zonaras, and according to Adler the Ambrosian Lexicon), it is impossible to determine precisely what sense of the glossing term poikilos is relevant; cf. pi …
