- ε2657Ἐπιτακτικῶςperemptorily… Greek, the difference between headword and gloss is merely a matter of prepositional prefix (epi- or pros-). For the latter adverb cf. under alpha 2096, delta 1489, iota 683. [1] Diodorus Siculus 28.15.2 (via …
- ε595Ἐκπορποῦσθαιto pin… occurs outside lexicography. How we should translate it is a matter of some doubt. Hesychius (epsilon1644) glosses the same headword with fiblou=sqai rather than e)kfiblou=sqai. This suggests that the prefix ek- is merely intensive …
- ε569Ἐκπήγνυσθαιto be frozen stiff… Magister, Ecloga nominum et verborum Atticorum epsilon151.8-10, sets out the matter most fully of all: "e)plh/gnusqai occurs only in Thucydides: '[sudden fear], as is apt to strike large armies, unaccountably, with astonishment'. You, though, …

- κ2661Κυλίνηkyline, cyline… Ambrosian Lexicon (1853). The headword is otherwise unattested, and this material was regarded by Bernhardy as part of kappa 2660. For 'cabbage' see kappa 2318.
- ε862Ἕλιξspiral, helixComparable material, according to Adler, in two entries (531, 637) of the unedited Ambrosian Lexicon. Explicitly in ps.-Herodian (30), who also gives a substantive gloss for the noun: h( sustrofh/ 'a twisting'. cf. epsilon …
- ε3159Ἐσκουπονδίαιescupondiae… plural; feminine here, neuter in ps.-Zonaras; otherwise unattested in published material (though Adler cites the unedited Lexicon codicis Barocciani 50). Perhaps related to the Latin words esculentus and pondus (yielding 'measure of edibles').
- α4439Αὐλίαcourtyard[1] (cf. alpha 4436.) Same material, variously, in other lexica. [2] Quotation unidentifiable.
- α4461Αὐσονίωνof Ausonians… Halieutica 2.676, where the scholia gloss 'Romans'. [2] This odd material is unparalleled elsewhere. [3] Strabo's preferred variant is *Au)so/nion pe/lagos [4] (Atlas and Kalypso, in other versions.) For this material cf. the scholia …
- α4144ἌσημονundistinguishedSame material, according to Adler, in two entries in the Ambrosian Lexicon (3539, 3380). LSJ entry at web address 1.

- ε763ἘλαιᾷarousesSame material in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, two entries in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The primary headword seems to be third person singular, present indicative active (and the secondary one the present middle/passive participle, …

- λ793Λυκάβαςtwelvemonth, lykabas, lycabas, lukabas, light-course, wolf-gang… 19.306 (web address 2). Most if not all of the material in the entry derives from commentary on these passages, and focuses on explaining the etymology of the word, something modern scholars are still …
- ε3766Εὐτέλεια Εὐτελίαthriftiness… the same word, eu)te/leia and eu)teli/a, but does not help matters by glossing only the second. (In the Aristophanes manuscripts both versions occur.) [1] An approximation of Aristophanes, Frogs 405 (web address 1), with …
- α219Ἄγημαdivision, guard, force, troopSee also alpha 220. [1] Same or similar material in other lexica; references at Photius alpha165 Theodoridis. [2] This last clause (not in the other lexica) is perhaps a quotation; if so, it is …
- αι44Αἰγίζεινto rend asunderSame or similar material, variously, in other lexica (notably Hesychius alpha1709). The latter part of the entry reappears under eta 104. [1] cf. alphaiota 61. [1] Aeschylus fr. 481 Radt (either of these infinitives). …

- ε3254Ἔσχατος Μυσῶν πλεῖνto sail last of the Mysians… is ascribed by Erbse to Pausanias the Atticist (epsilon58). Similar material -- especially similar in the account of Telephos -- appears in a scholium to Euripides, Rhesos 251, where Mysians are mentioned. The same …
- α3412Ἀπολωλεκώςhaving destroyedSimilar material, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (2731-2). [1] The aorist participle a)pole/sas, masculine nominative singular, is here used to gloss the same form -- evidently quoted from somewhere (there are numerous …
- α426Ἀδαμάντιναadamantine [things]… 3.21, though there are other possibilities. [2] Much of this material recurs in kappa 912. The Apollonius in question is the neo-Pythagorean sage A. of Tyana (C1/2), on whom see principally alpha 3420.
- α4464Αὐτάρκειαself-sufficiency[1] Though attributed here to Polybius, this material on Publicola (pi 2052) -- again at pi 2057 -- actually comes from Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 5.12.3. [2] Of the commodity or property in …
- α4186ᾎσμαsong, warpSame or similar material in other lexica. [1] Sophron fr. 79 Kaibel, now 143 K.-A. (For Sophron see generally sigma 893.) This a)/sma has no iota subscript, distinguishing it from the the headword a)=|sma …
- α1911ἈνακῶςcautiouslySimilar material in (shorter entries in) other lexica. [1] Herodotus 1.24.7. The gloss there now follows here. [2] Apparently an inference from the word's supposed etymological connection -- for which see e.g. Plutarch, Theseus …
