ε794ἘλεοῦνταElaious[1] (At the southern tip of the present-day Gallipoli peninsula; Barrington Atlas map 51 grid G4.) Very similarly in ps.-Zonaras. The Suda's source for this glossing is Harpokration s.v. (epsilon31 Keaney), but NB: the …Matched in noteshighshort
ε2162Ἐπηγκυλημένα ξύλαthong-fitted timbersSimilarly in ps.-Zonaras (see further below). The headword phrase, in the neuter plural, must be quoted from somewhere. One might think, from this attempt at glossing it, that its meaning was particularly obscure, but …

ε3331Ἐτώθαζονthey were mockingSame entry, minus the quotation, taken over by ps.-Zonaras. The primary headword -- presumably extracted from the quotation -- is imperfect, third person plural, of twqa/zw (tau 855). [1] Procopius, History of the Wars …Matched in noteshighshort

α129ἈγαλεώνAgaleonLikewise in ps.-Zonaras. No mountain of this precise name is attested, however; so it seems reasonable to assume that "Agaleon" is either Mt.Aigaleos, NW of Athens (alphaiota 17) or else (and more probably?) Mt. …Matched in noteshighshort

α924ἈκόνιτονaconiteSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] Same glossing, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1039). [2] Diogenes Laertius 5.8: the third line of a short poem of his own (= Greek Anthology 7.107.3) on …Matched in noteshighshort

δ479Δηναδίπτραdenadiptra, donativaThe transmitted headword dhnadi/ptra appears likewise, with this same gloss, in ps.-Zonaras. It is otherwise unattested, and almost certainly corrupt: Adler cites as a previous source the unedited Lexicon codicis Barocci 50, where the …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1094Δίκης ἀνάκρισιςpreliminary hearing of a lawsuitLikewise in ps.-Zonaras; similarly elsewhere. On the anakrisis see generally A.R.W. Harrison, The Law of Athens, ii (Oxford 1971) 94-105; S.C. Todd, The Shape of Athenian Law (Oxford 1993) 126-7.Matched in noteshighshort

ε22Ἐβάστασενweighed[1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is aorist indicative active, third person singular, of basta/zw (cf. beta 172, beta 173). It is presumably, though not demonstrably, extracted from the quotation given. [2] Aristophanes, Thesmophoriazusae …Matched in noteshighshort

ε111Ἐγκονίδεςserving-girlsSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is a noun, otherwise unattested, related to the verb e)gkone/w (epsilon 107, epsilon 108, epsilon 109). Here in the nominative plural, evidently quoted from somewhere but not independently …Matched in noteshighshort

ε225Ἐδήμευσανthey confiscated[1] For the glossing cf. epsilon 226. The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given. [2] Though the quotation -- shorter in ps.-Zonaras -- is unidentifiable (Adler suggested Aelian), Favuzzi (2018) 279-282 builds …Matched in noteshighshort

ε386Ἐκδέξασθαιto take overThe headword is the aorist infinitive of e)kde/xomai (cf. epsilon 388, epsilon 389). [1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. [2] The quoted phrase comes, via Harpokration s.v., from ch.18 of Demosthenes 5, On the Peace (a …Matched in noteshighshort

ε404ἘκδοχεῖονreceptacleSame entry in ps.-Zonaras, similar one (according to Adler) in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword, a neuter noun connected with epsilon 386, is common in Josephus; and see generally Lampe s.v.Matched in noteshighshort

ε434Ἐκήκιενgushed forthLikewise in ps.-Zonaras, and cf. the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 5.455, where the headword appears (in the form kh/kie): a mass of sea-water gushes from Odysseus' mouth and nose (web address 1). Also five …Matched in noteshighshort

ε580Ἔκπληξιςastonishment, consternationSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one already in Hesychius (epsilon1630); Latte there regards the headword as quoted from Euripides (Phoenician Women 729, 961). cf. alpha 212, pi 150, pi 778, sigma 175, phi 559.Matched in noteshighshort

ε660Ἐκ τιτυννῶνfrom babies, from totsThe noun in the headword phrase is the Doric tunno/s (for mikro/s: cf. tau 1171), here textually corrupt; see LSJ s.v. (In ps.-Zonaras it is even worse: titumnw=n.) The (original) phrase e)k tunnw=n must …Matched in noteshighshort

ε761ἜλγηElgeAttested in this unaspirated form only here and in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras. Presumably, nevertheless, Helge (a.k.a Caesarea Germanice) in northern Turkey; Barrington Atlas map 52 grid D4. The alternatives are: - Helike …Matched in noteshighshort
