α201Ἀγέροπτοςunseen(?)A problematic entry. The headword itself is a)ge/roptos in most Suda mss and also in Hesychius, but a)ge/ropos in ms T and also in ps.-Zonaras. (Both versions are otherwise unattested, and not in LSJ.) …Matched in noteshighshort
ε353Ἐκαρπώσαντοthey reaped the benefit ofSame entry in ps.-Zonaras (on which see further below). The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given. For the verb cf. kappa 419. [1] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini …Matched in noteshighshort
ε413Ἐκκεκυμασμένουςhaving been washed out[1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is perfect middle/passive participle of e)kkumai/nw, masculine accusative plural. It is presumably extracted from the quotation given (though ps.-Zonaras does not have it). [2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler suggests …

α116Ἀγαθοθέλειαdesire for the good[1] The headword (a single word in the Greek) is a very rare feminine noun. It is glossed with this same phrase in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras. [2] 'Anon.': LSJ s.v. Perhaps Polybius, …Matched in noteshighshort

α121Ἀγαθόςgood[1] This material (from an unidentifiable source) is found only in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras. From the second sentence onwards it seems to be disputing the initial, simple equivalence. [2] Quotation unidentifiable, but …Matched in noteshighshort

α192Ἀγελήτης βοῦςherding oxSame glossing in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword phrase, possibly a quotation, is otherwise unattested.Matched in noteshighshort

α415Ἀγχούροιςclose-bordering[1] Same glossing in Eudemus and ps.-Zonaras. The headword is dative plural of this adjective, quoted from somewhere -- very probably from its only occurrence outside lexicography: Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.1386 (a)gxou/roisin), the scholia …Matched in noteshighshort

α432ἌδαιτρονundistributedSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (488); similarly already in Hesychius alpha983. The headword, masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective, is otherwise unattested.Matched in noteshighshort

α950ἌκραhighSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] The headword adjective is feminine nominative singular, perhaps (though not demonstrably) generated by the feminine dative singular in the quotation given. [2] Arrian, Parthika fr. 43 Roos. (On Avgar, …Matched in noteshighshort

α1889Ἀνακάψαιto wolf downLikewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword, aorist active infinitive of a)naka/ptw, is extracted from Aristophanes, Birds 579; the gloss corresponds with that of the scholia there (fagei=n).Matched in noteshighshort

α1909ἈνακομῶI get hair againSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and the Etymologicum Gudianum; different one, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword verb is rare, but see e.g. Lucian, Dialogi Meretricii 12.5 and True Histories 2.41 (a)neko/mhse …Matched in noteshighshort

α3430ἈπολυόμενοςdismissingLikewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword, a present middle-voice participle, is probably (though not demonstrably) extracted from the quotation given. For this verb cf. alpha 3431 (active). [1] Quotation unidentifiable. (Attributed to Polybius by Valckenaer.)Matched in noteshighshort

α3691ἈπροϊδήςunforeseenSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword adjective is illustrated by both of the poems quoted. [1] Greek Anthology 7.213.6 (Archias). Find further extracts from this epigram, an epitaph for a cicada, at epsilon 2988 …Matched in noteshighshort

α3692Ἀπρόϊτοςnot going out, unproceedingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. At Hesychius s.v., where the headword is glossed with a)ne/codos, Latte cites John Chrysostom. The LSJ entry notes attestations in Damascius …Matched in noteshighshort

α4110Ἀρχιειρεσίαchief-oarsmanshipSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword, a feminine noun, is not otherwise attested.Matched in noteshighshort

α4111Ἀρχίκλοποςchief-thief, master-thiefSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. They exhibit confusion between the prefix stem a)rxi- ('chief', 'foremost') and the related but distinct adjective a)rxai=os ('ancient'). LSJ s.v. accepts …Matched in noteshighshort

α4116Ἀρχισυναγωγόςsynagogue-headSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword occurs frequently, in this sense, in the Gospels and elsewhere in the New Testament. (The term is used also, without religious …Matched in noteshighshort

α4146ἈσηρώθAseroth, AsherothLikewise in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The name is that of a Canaanite fertility goddess -- also called Asherah -- mentioned in the Septuagint (and elsewhere): Numbers 11.35, 12.16, Deuteronomy …Matched in noteshighshort

α4152ἈσιχίνηAsichineSame entry in ps-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. If this feminine name is that of a woman (rather than of a place), a possible candidate is queen Askhen or Arshken, wife …Matched in noteshighshort

α4432ΑὐθωρόνimmediatelySame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon; similar one in Hesychius alpha8271 (construing the headword, it seems, as an adjective rather than an adverb). cf. generally alpha 4431.Matched in noteshighshort

α4495Αὐτοκέλευστοςself-directed[1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is perhaps extracted from the quotation given (see next note), though Photius' entry on this adjective -- with a longer gloss -- does not have the quotation. [2] …Matched in noteshighshort

α4591ἈφέταιAphetai, AphetaeSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] Incorrect. Our primary source on the episode in question here (Herodotus 7.188ff.) makes it clear that Aphetai is far to the north of Attica, in Thessaly; see also Strabo …Matched in noteshighshort

α4615Ἀφιζάνειrises from a seatThe headword verb is presumably quoted from somewhere but is attested only here and in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras.Matched in noteshighshort

αι26ΑἰγέαgoatskinSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (88). The headword ai)ge/a can be contracted to ai)gh=; cf. Herodian, and see generally LSJ s.v. ai)/geos. See also alphaiota 34.Matched in noteshighshort

αι37Αἰγιάζεινto talk of goatsSame or similar entry in other lexica; ultimately Phrynichus, Praeparatio sophistica fr. 107, who glosses the verb as translated here (and adopted by LSJ). Since all ancient comment stems from a contextless line in …Matched in noteshighshort

αι40ΑἰγιάληAigialeMore precisely a toponym: one of the cities on the Aegean island of Amorgos; cf. under alphaiota 39. Likewise in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon.Matched in noteshighshort

αι54ΑἴγινθοςAiginthos, AeginthusAiginos in one group of manuscripts, Adler reports; but either way, attested as such only in lexicography. (A mistake for Aigisthos [alphaiota 62]? Possibly, though ps.-Zonaras has them both.) Dionysius the Periegete, Ixeutikon (paraphrase) …Matched in noteshighshort

αι93Αἰαιοίbrothers-in-lawSame entry in ps.-Zonaras but in the singular, and with alternative accentuations of the headword: ai)ai=os h)\ ai)aio/s. LSJ ignores that form but does register (from Hesychius and elsewhere) 'a)e/lioi and ai)e/lioi'. Either way, …Matched in noteshighshort

αι96ΑἴεσχοςaieschosSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. Hesychius has a very similar gloss for a headword transmitted as ai)esxlos or ai)sxlos, regarded by Latte as a corruption of ai)/sakos (see …Matched in noteshighshort

αι100ΑἰζήρAizer, AezerSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword is otherwise unattested.Matched in noteshighshort
