Harpokration, Lexicon of the Ten Orators
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i
§ i About the lexicographer, Valerius Harpokration, practically nothing is known, though he probably worked in the later 2nd century CE. His lexicon of places and concepts cited by Athenian orators, is sadly incomplete but with tantalizing historical tidbits.

§ a1 Abaris: A proper name. When a plague, they say, had arisen throughout the whole inhabited world, Apollo responded to both Greeks and barbarians, when they asked, that the Athenian people was to make prayers on behalf of all. And when many nations were sending embassies to them, they say that Abaris also came, an ambassador from the Hyperboreans. The time in which he was present is disputed. For Hippostratos says that he was present in the 53rd Olympiad, while Pindar (says that it was) in the time of Kroisos, king of the Lydians, and others (that it was) in the 21st Olympiad.

§ a7 Agoi: This denotes many things. Isaios took it for'to bear' and'to lead in' and'to drag,' in the so-titled “For Eumathes, removal to freedom” saying thus: “ Xenokles injured me by removing Eumathes to freedom, when I was leading him into slavery for my own part.” And many times in the speech he used the word for the same sense. But Antiphon, in On Truth, says, “may(?) he'hold' the laws great,” instead of'may(?) he think.' There is much use of this (sense).

§ a8 Agelaion: (belonging to the common herd): Isokrates in Panathenaikos meant, as it were, the many itinerant sophists. The metaphor is from herd animals, which graze in whatever places they happen to come to, or from fish, which they say feed copiously in schools (herds).

Demosthenes or Deinarchos show that this was so in Against Theokrines; also Lykourgos in Against Aristogeiton; and still further, Pytheas in his defense against the indictment.

§ a22 Aguias (street): Demosthenes in Against Meidias: “to hold choruses according to ancestral custom and to fill the street with savor.” Some accent with the acute, treating it as feminine, like τὰς ὁδούς (the roads). But it is better to use circumflex as if from ἀγυιεύς. An aguieus is a pillar ending in a point, which they set in front of their doors, as Aristophanes, in the Wasps, and Eupolis make clear. They say that these are particular to Apollo, but others say to Dionysos, and others say to both. The complete (i.e. uncontracted) form is ἀγυιέας and according to the Attic dialect ἀγυιᾶς, as they say'Steirias' and'Melias' and the like, with contraction. Aristophanes in the Birds: “slaughter sheep on sacrificial hearths; and fill the street with the savor.” They say that this is particular to the Dorians, as Dieuchidas makes clear in the third book of the Megarika. But the altars in front of people's houses could be what are called among Attic speakers aguieis, as Kratinos and Menander say. Also Sophokles, in Laokoon, translating the Athenians' customs to Troy, says, “And the roadside altar shines with fire, wafting drops of myrrh, exotic fragrances.”.

It seems to be said by way of metaphor from full-grown racehorse s, which are accustomed “to eat their fill,” according to the poet. Alkaios in Tragecomedy called lamps that consume a lot'hungry.'.

§ a33 Adrasteia: Some say that she is the same as Nemesis, and that she took the name from Adrastos son of Talaos, since he suffered nemesis for what he boasted against the Thebans, and then in accordance with certain oracles established a sanctuary of Nemesis, which they say was called thereafter Adrasteia's, as Antimachos shows in these (lines): “There is a certain great goddess Nemesis, who was allotted all these things by the blessed. And Adrestos was the first to establish an altar for her beside the stream of the river Aisepos, where she has been honored and is called Adresteia.” Some, however, say that she is different from Nemesis, as Menander and Nikostratos (do). And Demetrios of Skepsis says that Adrasteia is Artemis, established by a certain Adrastos.

There is also a speech — so it is is said — of Lysias Concerning the Invalid, in which he has mentioned one as receiving an obol.

There is another Alexander, himself also king of the Macedonians, the elder brother of Philip, about whom Demosthenes in On The False Embassy says, “and yet this Apollophanes was one of those who killed Alexander the brother of Philip.” And another is Alexander the Thessalian, about whom again Demosthenes in Against Aristokrates [says] “what about that Alexander the Thessalian?” This one is a Pheraian, and the Athenians fought with him against the Thebans, when Pelopidas was his captive.

§ a71 Halipedon: Some say the Peiraeus. It is also commonly known as a place which of old was sea, but has since become plain. Wherefore the first syllable is aspirated, since it is as it were “a plain of salt” (halos pedion). Or an even (homalon) plain, and worn smooth, that is to say, ground down (alelesmenon), as Aristophanes in The Banqueters, with smooth-breathing, “in Alipedum.” Some claim that the plain beside the sea is so called. Some claim that it is so named according to the fact that horses can roll (alindeisthai) themselves in it, that is, cover themselves in dust.

And perhaps they are certain advance troops arranged along with the cavalry. Philochoros at any rate in the tenth book says that they are also advance troops.

§ a98 Amphiktyons: It is a Greek council, gathered at Thermopylai. It was named either after Amphiktyon son of Deukalion, because he gathered the races when he was king, as Theopompos says in book 8 (these were 12: Ionians, Dorians, Perrhaibians, Boiotians, Magnesians, Phthiotic Achaians, Melians, Dolopians, Ainianians, Delphians, Phokians ), or from the fact that those who were gathered were inhabitants around Delphi, as Anaximenes says in book 1 of Hellenika.
