α1281Ἀλκιμάχηmighty in battleThe headword is perhaps generated by the epigram quoted, though not demonstrably so; ps.-Zonaras (next note) does not have it, and in any case the epigram has a Doric-dialect version. [1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. …Matched in noteshighshort

α450Ἀδειάςsafe-havenSo here and in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon; a)di/as in Hesychius; in any event, unattested outside lexicography (though cf. very generally alpha 447, alpha 448, alpha 451).Matched in noteshighshort

α468Ἀδήσειςyou will delightSame entry in Hesychius, ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword is a unaspirated version of the a(dh/seis which occurs in Herodotus 5.39.2: the ephors tell King Anaxandridas that he "will …Matched in noteshighshort

α487Ἀδικοδοξίαmalevolence, machinatingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] Polybius fr. 95 Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst notes (p. 527) that this fragment was attributed to Polybius by Valesius (Henri de Valois 1603-1676). For a definite Polybian instance of this very …Matched in noteshighshort

α504Ἀδοξεῖταιis disgracefulSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] The second glossing phrase indicates that the subject of the headword -- a single word in the Greek -- is neuter. This makes it probable (though not demonstrable) that …Matched in noteshighshort

α508ἈδορείunskinnedlySame entry in ps.-Zonaras (with the slightly different gloss a)nekda/rtws) and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword adverb (ignored in LSJ) and the two forms of the glossing adverb are all otherwise …Matched in noteshighshort

α534ἍδρησιςmaturitySame entry in ps.-Zonaras; and Adler reports a comparable one in the Ambrosian Lexicon (452). Otherwise, the sole occurrence of the headword is in one of Basil of Caesarea's Homilies on the Hexaemeron (6.8: …Matched in noteshighshort

α539ἈδυναστίimpotentlyIn the Greek, a smaller difference (of suffix). The headword version (LSJ entry at web address 1) is attested only here and in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras.Matched in noteshighshort

α548Ἀελπέωνun-hoping, despairingThe headword a)elpe/wn is similarly glossed in ps.-Zonaras, i.e. in a way which shows that it is a present participle in the masculine nominative singular. (Adler reports the same entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon.) …Matched in noteshighshort

α556Ἀερέθονταιthey drive onSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. Hesychius alpha1385 has the same headword but different glossing: ai)wrou=ntai, kre/mantai. Latte ad loc. regards it as being quoted from Homer, Iliad …Matched in noteshighshort

α557Ἀεργηλήnon-workingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is feminine nominative singular of the epic/poetic adjective a)erghlo/s, perhaps (though not demonstrably) generated by the feminine genitive singular a)erghla=s in the quotation given. [1] cf. Hesychius' glossing …Matched in noteshighshort

α568ἈετασίαafflictionSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword (presumably related to alpha 567) is otherwise unattested.Matched in noteshighshort

α589ἈζηλόενgloomySame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. This adjective, here neuter nominative/accusative singular, is otherwise unattested and its etymology is unclear. It could be related to a)/zhlos "unenviable, dreary" (alpha …Matched in noteshighshort

α657Ἀήμεναιto blowSame entry in Hesychius, ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword occurs twice in Homer: Latte on Heschius s.v. asserts that it is quoted here from Odyssey 3.156, but there may …Matched in noteshighshort

α658Ἀηνέςaenes, (?)never-endingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one in Hesychius alpha1513, with three glosses -- the first as here, then la/bron (sic: "turbulent") and a)/qlion ("wretched"). The headword, neuter singular, must be quoted from somewhere but …Matched in noteshighshort

α683ἌϊθεςAithes, AethesAttested only here and in ps.-Zonaras, whose entry is 'Aithes and Aines, peoples'. (For the latter see alpha 685.) Perhaps a faulty version of Aithikes (alphaiota 123).Matched in noteshighshort

α685ἌϊνεςAinesUnattested outside lexicography. (The corresponding entry in ps.-Zonaras is: 'Aithes and Aines, peoples'; for the first of these see already alpha 683.)Matched in noteshighshort

α717Ἀθεωρητίunobservedly[1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (785). The adverb itself is perhaps quoted from Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 1.9.2. [2] From Harpokration s.v., who cites Antiphon the Sophist (87 B67 …Matched in noteshighshort

α719Ἀθέρεςchaff, stalksSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (703); more informatively in e.g. Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon. The headword, nominative plural of the masculine noun a)qh/r, might be quoted from somewhere but, …Matched in noteshighshort

α720Ἀθέρισονslight, make light ofSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword, aorist active imperative of a)qeri/zw (LSJ entry at web address 1 below), must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently …Matched in noteshighshort

α721Ἀθερώσσει(?)lies awakeSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one, according, to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon, where however the headword is a)qrw/ssei rather than this a)qerw/ssei. Either way, the verb is otherwise unattested.Matched in noteshighshort
