- α4472Αὐτὴ κάμινος αὐτὸς εἵλκυσε καπνὸς ἢ τροχόςthe oven itself, the smoke itself or the wheel dragged on… Adler indicates no textual problems.) The first element does, of itself, constitute a proverbial saying: so Photius, explicitly, with a gloss very similar to the present one; also Hesychius, who has such a gloss …
- αι110Αἰθαλοκομπίαιςwith sooty boastingsFrom the scholia to Aristophanes, Knights 696 (which itself has yolokompi/ais: see psi 123).
- α423Ἀδακρυτίtearlessly… but is too common to identify. The glossing adverb is itself glossed at alpha 891.
- δ1694Δυσριγότεροςmore chilling, rather chilling… ps.-Zonaras, where both the comparative and the superlative of du/srigos (itself given) appear.
- α3403Ἀπολογοῦμαί σοιI defend myself to you… Plutarch, Themistocles 23) against you. Either way, the headword phrase itself illustrates the principle.
- δ823ΔιαφημίζωI spread the news… appears to preface a lost glossing verb. The headword verb itself appears as a gloss in delta 598 and delta 978; see also delta 944.
- α159ἈγαπῴηνI would love; if you please… according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (338). The headword itself must be quoted from somewhere: perhaps Plato, Republic 473B (a passage quoted by Stobaeus). See also alpha 160 (and under alpha 150).
- ε1625Ἐξ ἐναντίαςfrom opposite… the idiom see generally LSJ s.v. e)na/ntios, II.2. The Suda itself has six other instances.
- α4617ἈφικνοῦμαιI arriveThe headword itself, a)fiknou=mai, does not take the genitive, but the verb appended -- e)fiknou=mai, aorist e)fiko/mhn -- can.
- ε1622Ἐξέμηνανthey drove mad… gloss derived from an unknown syntactic lexicon. The headword verb itself must be quoted from somewhere. (For the syntax cf. under epsilon 2961.) A similar gloss for a different form of the same verb …
- β546Βρόγχοςthroat… of the present entry's glosses -- rarer than the headword itself -- appears as headword (glossed by the second gloss). For 'throat' cf. also under pi 2412.
- δ568Διάθρυπτεsmash apart! break up! distribute!… LXX ('share your bread with the hungry'). For the verb itself see also delta 569 and delta 585 (gloss). [1] Adler reports, however, that ms T has the gloss 'split up', 'divide' (diame/rize).
- δ1700ΔυστραπελίαintransigenceThe (unglossed) headword itself is unattested in this precise form (dustrapelia) outside lexicography, but for dustrapeleia see e.g. Diodorus Siculus 4.11.6, 5.15.5. For the adjective see also delta 1701.
- β118ΒάρνηBarne… Ambrosian Lexicon. Its gloss, nevertheless, is not only obscure in itself (though cf. beta 111) but, surely, misplaced here. Cadesh Barnea (present-day Ein el Qudeirat, in NE Egypt) is mentioned in several books of …
- δ749Διασήθεινto siftSame entry in Photius, though Theodoridis there obelizes the headword itself as corrupt; diash/qein does exist (see LSJ s.v.), but in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon the lemma which has these three glosses is diagra/fein "to …
- κ2668ΚυλίχνιονpotletThe headword, a diminutive of kuli/xnh (itself a diminutive of kappa 2665), occurs at Aristophanes, Knights 906 (web address 1) and the bulk of the entry is drawn from the scholia thereto.
- ε723Ἐκφῦναιto grow out of… e)kgennhqh=nai ('to be born from') as the gloss. The headword itself, an aorist active infinitive, must be quoted from somewhere: Euripides (Phoenician Women 419, Bacchae 27), according to Latte, but there are numerous later …
- κ2676Κυμάτιαcymatia, moldings, volutes… the description of Noah's Ark (Exodus 25:11 of the Ark itself, 25:24 of its table). cf. generally under pi 915 (= tau 207).
- 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.) …
- δ774Διασφάξcleft… lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. That work does not confine itself to Plato, however, so there is no call to doubt the assertion in (e.g.) Philoxenus and the Lexicon Vindobonense that dia/sfac is extracted …
- ε2087Ἐπέστησεstood over… relevant usage, though there is no nu-moveable in the headword itself. [2] Quotation not identified by Adler, but TLG searching reveals it to be Cassius Dio 17.57.78 (contextless). (Could also mean "he suddenly stopped …
- ε2215Ἐπήσπαιρενwas panting, was struggling against… (imperfect indicative active, third person singular, of e)pispai/rw), which is itself attested only at Plutarch, Alexander the Great: Luck or Virtue? 327C (at the time of A's departure for the East Hellas 'was still …
- ε3151Ἐσκληκόταparched… Magnum 384.54. See also Hesychius epsilon6240, indicating that the headword itself has been quoted from Attic tragedy (adespota fr. 210a Kannicht-Snell).
- α307Ἀγοραίαν δίκηνagora lawsuit, forensic lawsuit… lexica in different forms. In Photius (alpha231 Theodoridis) the lemma itself is the adjective only, i.e. di/khn is lacking; the Synagoge (alpha82) has di/khn as the first part of the gloss. All that seems …
- ε2122ἘπεικάζωI suppose… epsiloniota 57.) It is presumably generated by, but is not itself part of, the quotation given. [1] Sophokles, Elektra 663. Adler asserts that the entry is derived from the scholia to this line, but …
- δ776Διατάγματαedicts… the gloss on this passage cf. alpha 1612. The passage itself is an approximation of Herodian 7.12.2 (which in fact contains the singular of the headword); 'he' is the shortlived (238 CE) joint Roman …
- ε1614Ἐξελέγχεινto expose utterly, to put to the test… there), but here, as both the gloss and the quotation itself suggest, we need the more neutral sense II. [2] Quotation (also in ps.-Zonaras) unidentifiable. (Adler suggests Aelian.) For "tortures(?)" cf. generally beta 137, …
- ε1940Ἐπαλλάξαντεςpassing over… in Photius, but the gloss is an error. The headword itself -- aorist active participle, masculine nominative plural, of e)palla/ssw -- occurs in Homer, Iliad 13.359 (web address 1) where, in an image about …
- δ614Διαλλαγῆναιto be reconciled… 1.120.2, where the finite verb e)nhlla/ghsan occurs. (For the headword itself see 8.70.2, 8.71.3, and cf generally delta 613.) The same differentiation in reverse occurs at epsilon 1105. For the LSJ entries for these …
- β572Βρύκουσαgnashing… For this glossing cf. generally Hesychius s.v. bru/kein. The headword itself is the present participle, feminine nominative singular, of bru/kw; see again beta 573. [2] Greek Anthology 7.433.3-4 (Tymneus), with the compound participle e)pibru/kous'; …
