ε3858Ἐφέντεςyielding[1] Same glossing reproduced by ps.-Zonaras. The headword itself is aorist active participle, masculine nominative plural, of e)fi/hmi. It might be extracted from the quotation given here, though ps.-Zonaras does have it, and other …Matched in noteshighshort
ε3414Εὐδιάλογοςcommunicative, outgoingSame entry in Photius (and, later, in ps.-Zonaras). The headword adjective is otherwise unattested. For the glossing term (apparently stemming from Attic comedy: see Comica adespota fr. 595 K.-A.) cf. under kappa 220.Matched in noteshighshort
ε3417Εὐδικίαrighteousness, right dealingsSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] cf. the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 19.111, where the accusative plural occurs, and Hesychius s.v. [2] Quotation (and individual) unidentifiable.

ε3420Εὐδίοδονeasily-passable-though, easy to pass through[1] The headword is masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective; evidently quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, where it is neuter nominative plural). The glosses here appear to …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3461Εὐηθείαςof guilelessness, of gullibility, of innocence[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica (see further below). The headword noun, more probably in the genitive singular than the accusative plural, must be extracted from somewhere -- perhaps the quotation given here, …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3848Ἐφεδρείαreserve, successionFor this feminine headword see again epsilon 3849. In the present entry -- taken over by ps.-Zonaras but with the headword as e)fedri/a -- the glossing is elucidated, as Adler noted, by comparisons with …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3883ἘφειμένονadmittedSame entry in ps.-Zonaras.

ε3926ἘφίλατοcherishedSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] The headword is third person singular, aorist middle, of file/w. It might be extracted from the quotation given here, though there are extant alternatives beginning with Homer, Iliad 5.61 …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3944Ἐφόλκιαtenders, towed-boats[1] So already in Hesychius. [2] This addendum, taken over from Photius, is incomprehensible as it stands; but (as Adler notes) Bachmann pointed out that ps.-Zonaras's version of epsilon 3951 (ephoros) adds 'Also called …Matched in noteshighmedium
