urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e79
§ e79 Epairomenos (lifting up): for'stretching out and holding up,' Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. But in Against Aphobos he says, with another another meaning, “either by desire for profits because they are induced by poverty.” [ Aristophanes in the Clouds: “Would that the matchmaker perish miserably, who urged me to marry your mother.”].

§ e80 Epedikase kai epedikasanto (he adjudicated a claim to property and they went to law over a property claim): Demosthenes in Against Olympiodoros.'Epidikasen' is as it were'he adjudicated,' and'epedikasanto' is as it were'they persuaded the jurors to assign the estate to themselves.'.

§ e81 Epenegkein dory epi tei ekphorai kai prosagoreuein epi toi mnemati (to bring a spear at the carrying out of corpse and to speak at the tomb): Demosthenes, Against Euergos and Mnesiboulos, says these (words) applying to one who died violently. Istros in the compilation of Atthides, speaking about Prokris and Kephalos, writes this: “But some say that Erechtheus has been depicted having planted a spear on the tomb, both seated beside it and denoting his suffering, on account of the fact that it was customary for relatives to go after murderers in this manner.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e82
§ e82 Epeskepsato (he denounced): for'he brought a charge for false witness.' It is said sometimes, rarely, also for accusing someone of homicide, as Antiphon (says) in On the Revolution. Isaios has used the active'epeskepsen' (he imposed) for'he commanded' in the removal to freedom For Eumathes. But Andokides in On the Mysteries and Lysias in for Ktesiarchos have said'I lay it upon' for'I speak with an appeal to the gods' and, as it were,'I conjure.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e83
§ e83 Epibates (marine): Demosthenes in On the Extended Trierarchy. So they used to call those of the soldiers serving on triremes who did not row, but were ready only for fighting. Aristophanes in his Babylonians: “Well indeed did the marine plunge into the sea to retrieve a stern cable.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e84
§ e84 Epibletas (bars): Lysias in Against Mikinos for homicide, if it is genuine. An epibles is, as Timachidas says, a beam, but as Kleitarchos the writer on languages says, a certain kind of beam.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e85
§ e85 Epiboion: Lykourgos in On the Priestess. And Philochoros in book two says thus: “If someone sacrifices to Athena an ox, then it is necessary also to sacrifice to Pandora a sheep, and the sacrifice is called'epiboion' (in addition to the ox ). Likewise also Staphylos in the first book of On Athens.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e86
§ e86 Epibole (that which is laid on): The penalty. The word is common among them, as for example in Lysias, Against Nikomachos, if the speech is genuine.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e87
§ e87 Epignomonas (aribiters): for'inspectors' in Lysias, On the Sekos.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e88

urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e89
§ e89 Epiguion (stern cable): Lysias in Against Andokides for departure (apostasiou), if it is genuine. They used to call the stern cables'epiguia.' The poets of old comedy also have used the word.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e90
§ e90 Epidekaton: The tenth, Isaios in Against Elpagoras. They were accustomed also to call the fifth'epipempton' (one fifth), as for example Eupolis in Autolykos.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e91
§ e91 Epi Delphinioi: A lawcourt at Athens is so called. Those who admit that they have killed but say that they have done this lawfully, are tried there, as Demosthenes shows in Against Aristokrates, and Aristotle in the Constitution of the Athenians.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e92
§ e92 Epidiatithesthai (to deposit as security): Lysias in the peroration of the guardianship case Against Theopeithes. To make certain agreements, depositing a stated sum of money with one of those who are between (i.e. a third party), who pledges to each party on condition that if the transaction should take place he give the agreed sum of money to the other in full, it'to deposit as security.' The act itself is also called'epidiatheke,' as the same orator shows in For Nesokles.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e93
§ e93 Epi Delioi mache (battle at Delion): Lykourgos in Against Lysikles. Delion is a place in Boiotia. There Athenians were beaten in battle by Boiotians, as Thucydides says in book four.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e94
§ e94 Epidietes hebesai (to be two years past puberty): Demosthenes in Against Stephanos. Didymos says (that this is) for'if they are 16 years old.' For puberty lasts till 14. But the ephebes, among Athenians, become so at 18 years old, and they remain among the ephebes for 2 years, and then are registered in the lexiarchic record, according as Hypereides says, in Against Chares over guardianship: “When I was registered and the law granted the recovery of the things left to my mother, (the law) which bids that sons be masters of the epikleros and all the property, when they are two years past puberty.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e95
§ e95 Epidikos kai epikleros kai epiproikos kai epikleritis: She who is left an orphan over the entire estate, inasmuch as she has no brother, is an'epikleros' (and an'epikleritis' is the same). But she (who is left an orphan) over a part of the estate, so that she has a dowry, inasmuch as she does have brothers, is an'epiproikos.' And the'epikleros' who is contested regarding to whom she must be married is an'epidikos.' These things Isaios shows in Against Satyros on behalf of an'epikleros,' as does Deinarchos in the speech titled Affidavit in Protest Concerning the Daughter of Aristophon's Not Being an Epidikos. And in this speech he shows also that the closest family relatives married off daughters who lacked resources, by contributing 5 minas. Isaios in Against Lysibios has called the'epikleros' an'epikleritis.'.

§ e96 Epi Thrasylloi (at Thrasyllos ): Demosthenes in the counter-suit Against Pantainetos says, “the (mine) at Thrasyllos.” An Attic habit for'at the monument/tomb of Thrasyllos.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e97
§ e97 Epithetous heortas (additional festivals): Isokrates in the Areopagitikos. They used to call (festivals) that were not ancestral but had been otherwise decreed in addition,'additional.' Other things too used to be said among them to be additional, (for example) as many non-ancestral matters as the council of the Areopagos exercised jurisdiction over, as Lysias makes clear in Against the Public Suit of Mixidemos. Lysias calls certain (letters)'additional letters' in Against Thrasyboulos, and he would mean those that were given to people to convey, for it was customary to say'he added a letter' for'he handed over (a letter),' as Demosthenes (says) in For Chrysippos against the counter-suit of Phormio. And Kratinos in Trophonios...

§ e98 Epikekerychenai (to have proclaimed): Demosthenes in On the Embassy. Whenever a city or magistrate wanted someone who among those who were not under their power to be killed it/he used to announce that it/he would give so and so much money if someone should kill (him), just as the Greeks proclaimed, against Xerxes, that, if someone should bring him to Athens, alive or dead, they would give him 100 talents.

§ e99 Epikerycheia: The sending of heralds for friendship and reconciliation. Demosthenes, in the fifth of the Philippics.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e100
§ e100 Epi korres (on the temple/jaw): Demosthenes in Against Meidias. Different people interpreted it differently, but it is better to understand that'on the jaw' is called'epi korres,' what we call in daily life a'slap.' Hypereides at any rate or Philinos in Against Dorotheos, first saying that the man who slapped Hipponikos'epi korres' was charged for hybris, in the words that follow as it were explains the word by saying, “Next, Hipponikos was only slapped by Autokles on the jaw, but I was dragged by these men by my hair (and) got knuckles (i.e. took a beating).”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e101
§ e101 Epikrates: Isaios in On the Speeches Made in Macedonia. This is the Athenian demagogue who is nicknamed'Beard-carrier,' whom Demosthenes also mentions in On the Embassy. There is another Epikrates whom Lykourgos mentions in On the Financial Administration, saying that a bronze (statue) was set up on account of his law concerning the ephebes, whom they say owned property worth 600 talents. There is another Epikrates, a brother in law of the orator Aischines, as is shown by him in his defense On the Embassy. This one, moreover, used to have the eponym Kyrebion, as Demosthenes says in Against Aischines.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e102
§ e102 Epilachon (drawing the secondary lot): Aischines, Against Ktesiphon: “neither drawing the lot nor drawing the secondary lot, but purchasing by scheme.” The circumstance seems to be such. Those aiming to serve in the council or to hold office used to be selected by lot, and then for each of those obtaining the lot another man drew a secondary lot, so that if the one first allotted was rejected on scrutiny or died, the one drawing the secondary lot after him became the councillor in his place. This is also indicated in Plato's Hyperbolos.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e103
§ e103 Epimeletes ton mysterion (supervisor of the mysteries): among Athenians the so-called'king:' Demosthenes, Against Meidias. Aristotle in the Constitution of the Athenians says thus: “The king supervises the mysteries first, with the supervisors, whom the people elects, two from all of the Athenians, and one from the Eumolpidai, and one from the Kerykes.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e104
§ e104 Epimeletes emporiou (supervisor of the emporion): Deinarchos in Against Pytheas. Aristotle: “They allot ten supervisors of the emporion, and to them it was appointed to supervise the merchants, and to compel the merchants to convey to the city two thirds of the grain that is shipped to the Attic emporion”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e105
§ e105 Epimenia (monthlies): Lycurgus in the speech On the Priestess. Either the things sacrificed each month, or the sacrifices for the entire month made at once at some point seem to be monthlies.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e106
§ e106 Epiorkesanta: Lysias, Against Theomnestos, explained that'epiorkesanta' is'having sworn.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e107
§ e107 Epi Palladioi: Demosthenes in Against Aristokrates. There is a court so called, as also Aristotle (says) in the Constitution of the Athenians, in which the ephetai judge cases of unwilling homicide, and deliberation. The court got the title of the' Palladion' and the jurors of the'ephetai' from this: After Agamemnon, along with the Argives, was brought to Athens from Ilion with the Palladion, Demophon steals the Palladion and slays many of those giving chase. Being upset, Agamemnon, demands satisfaction from the one who stole and convenes the court before 50 Athenians and 50 Argives, whom they called'ephetai' on account of the fact that the matter of the judgment was entrusted (ephethenai) to them by both sides.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e108
§ e108 Epipempton (one fifth): Lysias on Against Kritodemos and Plato for a simple fifth. Aristophanes, in Daitaleis: “Let him definitely not get the fifth! Let him weep!”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e109
§ e109 Epiplon: Isaios in Against Diokles. They call the equipment in one's home'epipla,' (that is) the property that is as it were manifest (epipolaion) and able to be conveyed. Sophokles in the Athamas.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e110
§ e110 Epi Prytaneioi: This too is a homicide court, and it judges cases if something inanimate kills someone by falling on him. This is if a rock or piece of wood or iron or some such thing (kills) and one is ignorant of the one who threw it, but knows the thing and has the thing that effected the homicide.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e111
§ e111 Episemainesthai (to put one's seal to): On the one hand, for'to praise' and, as we say in ordinary use,'to proclaim:' Isokrates in Panathenaikos; but on the other hand, for'to put a seal upon:' Isaios in the defense for Kaludon, on charge of ejectment, Against Hagnotheos.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e112
§ e112 Episitia (provision money): (Money) given for maintenance and for eating. Lysias in Against Demosthenes for guardianship. Sometimes they used to call this'sition' as well.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e113
§ e113 Episkopos (overseer): Antiphon in On the Tribute of the Lindians and Against Laispodias. People seem to have been sent by the Athenians to the subject cities, overseeing affairs in each. Theophrastos, at any rate, in book one of Politika pros kairous says thus: “for it is much finer, according, at least, to the word's application, (to use it) as the Laconians do, when they claim to send harmosts to the cities, not overseers and not guards, as the Athenians.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e114
§ e114 Epistates (chairman): Isaios in Against Elpagoras and Demophanes. Those appointed chairmen were two, one chosen by lot from the prytaneis, the other from the proedroi; what administrative duties each of whom administered, Aristotle shows in the Athenian Constitution. And in general use he who was in charge (ephestekos) of any matter at all also used to be called (epistates), as Hyperides in Against Demosthenes and Aeschines in Against Ktesiphon make apparent.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e115
§ e115 Epistathmos: Isokrates in the Panegyrikos: Hekatomnos was epistathmos of Karia. He was nothing other than master throughout the satrapy of Karia.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e116
§ e116 Epiteleoun kai epiteleoma (to sacrifice in full and an additional/completing sacrifice): Both of these words appear often in Lykourgos' On the Priestess, and that which is sacrificed on top of everything for the sake of the previous sacrifices being complete (epiteleis) seems to be called an'epiteleoma.' The orator himself at any rate says in the speech, “Moreover, he said that these were sacrificed last of all and were epiteleomata of the other sacrifices.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e117
§ e117 Epitimetas (appraisers): Those who first evaluate something used to be called'timetai,' and those who value the same things in subsequent years'epitimetai:' Lysias in Against Diogenes.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e118
§ e118 Epiteichisma (fort): the place that is walled against some people, setting out from which those who made the wall will be able to do harm to those against whom the walls were made. Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. And they call the act'epiteichismon', just as appears in the same speech.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e119
§ e119 Epitrepein (to entrust): Demosthenes in Against Aphobos 1 began thus: “If Aphobos, gentlemen of the jury, were willing to act justly concerning the matter over which we are in dispute and to entrust it to friends,” for'to chose them as arbitrators;' whence also the play of Menander, Epitrepontes. But Lysias, in Against the Guardians of Boon's Children said, “he entrusted to men” for'he appointed guardians.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e120
§ e120 Epitritais: Isaios in Against Kalliphon: "600 drachmas at one third" for'at 8 obols,' according to the fact that 8 obols are a third part of a tetradrachm.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e121
§ e121 Epichares: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. A proper name, a Sikyonian traitor.

urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e123
§ e123 Epipsephizon: Instead of “epikyron” [ratify]. Demosthenes in the Against Androtion. It is a frequent word among the Attic writers in this meaning — cf. Xenophon in book 1 of the Memorabilia.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e124
§ e124 Epogdoon (one-eighth): Demosthenes in Against Pythokles concerning the extended trierarchy. The sum lent so that the eighth part of the principal was given to the lender (in interest), would be'at one-eighth' (epogodoon), as in a triobol on the tetradrachm.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e125
§ e125 Epobelia (fine of one sixth): Demosthenes in Against Stephanos. The epobelia is a fine, the sixth part of the valuation, which prosecutors used to give to defendants if they did not convict. It was called thus because it was an obol for each drachma, which is exactly a sixth, since the drachma is calculated at 6 obols. It is possible to learn from many (sources) that this is so.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e126
§ e126 Eponia (sales tax): it is a tax given in addition to the purchase, and perhaps the fifth would be it: Isaios in Against Elpagoras and Demophanes, and in the antomosia Against Tlepolemos.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e127
§ e127 Eponymoi: Demosthenes in the Against Timokrates. There are two groups of Eponymoi: the first, ten in number, after which the tribes are named, the other, 42 in number, after which the age groups of citizens for each year from 18 to 60 are named.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e128
§ e128 Epopteukoton (having become epoptai): Hypereides in For Phryne. Those who have been initiated at Eleusis in the second initiation are said to become epoptai (beholders), as is clear from the speech of Demosthenes and from the tenth book of Philochoros.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e129
§ e129 Eranizontes (collecting an eranos loan/contribution): Demosthenes in the letter Concerning Lykourgos' Sons said “eranisas” (having raised an eranos) for'having sought an eranos.' And in the speech on the name he says, “But what if, expecting to be convicted for false testimony for'contributions' that he offers to those around him [...]?” He returns the good gesture by rendering the same assistance to them that they too one furnished when they testified falsely on his behalf. An eranistes, moreover, is properly he who has a share of the eranos and contributes the contribution that he was required to pay each month. The word is in Lysias, Against Aristokrates concerning a surety for an eranos, if it is genuine.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e130
§ e130 Erga neon (deeds belong to the young): Hypereides in Against Autokles says that this is also attributed to Hesiod. It is a proverb, which also Aristophanes the grammatikos recorded as running like this: “Deeds belong to the young, counsels to the middle aged, and prayers to the old.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e131
§ e131 Ergiske: Aischines, Against Ktesiphon. Ergiske too is in Thrace, and was named after Ergiskos, the son of Poseidon and Aba, a nymph.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e132
§ e132 Ergokles: Athenian general [strategos].
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e133
§ e133 Ergophilos: he is also an Athenian general [strategos].
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e134
§ e134 Herkeios Zeus: Deinarchos in Against Moschion, “whether he has phrateres and altars of Zeus Herkeios and Apollo Patroios.” Zeus Herkeios, to whom an altar is established inside the outer wall in the courtyard. For they used to call the outer wall a “herkos.” That they had a share in the citizenship whoever had a Zeus Herkeios Hypereides also has shown in For a Naturalized Citizen, if it is genuine, and Demetrios in On Lawmaking at Athens.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e135
§ e135 Herma: an underwater rock. Antiphon in the Defence Against the Indictment of Kallias. The name also occurs in Anakreon and in Aristophanes' Gerytade.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e136
§ e136 Hermai (Herms): Aischines on Against Ktesiphon and Hypereides in On The Honors for Euboulos. Menekles or Kallikrates in On Athens writes this: “After the Stoa Poikile and the Royal Stoa are the so-called Herms. It (i.e. the place) happens to have acquired this name owing to the fact that many (Herms) have been set up there both by private individuals and by magistrates. On one of them has been inscribed in archaic letters, ”For his benefaction the Achaians bound Agamemnon." But that a certain stoa was called Stoa of the Herms Antiphon has shown in Against Nikokles. And that some used to be called'Hipparcheian Herms' after Hipparchos son of Peisistratos has been said both in old comedy and by Plato, in the Hipparchos."
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e137
§ e137 Hermos: It is a deme of Attica of the tribe Akamantis, as Diodoros says in On the Demes. Dionysios the son of Tryphon in On Names says that the name of the deme Hermos appears to be neuter, like'herkos' (hedge). Zopyros says in On Rivers that (a river) Hermos is in Attica and that the deme is homonymous with it.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e138
§ e138 Hermes ho pros tei pylidi ( Hermes by the gate): Demosthenes in Against Euergos and Mnesiboulos. Philochoros in book five of Atthis says that the nine archons dedicated (a statue of) Hermes to the tribes beside the Attic gate.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e139

urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e142
§ e142 Erchiathen: Deinarchos, Against Stephanos. Erchia is a deme of the tribe Aigeis, as Diodoros says.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e143
§ e143 Espathato (was struck by a spathe): Demosthenes in Against Aischines. Didymos says that it is for'was destroyed,' from the spathe (blade) and a spathe is a sword. But perhaps the metaphor is from weavers. For they use a spathe. Also Aristophanes in the Clouds: “Woman, you are really striking the woof!”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e144
§ e144 Hestiator (banquet host): the person who provides a banquet to people. Demosthenes in the Reply to Boiotos. They provided food to the tribes, both voluntarily and by lot, as the same orator makes clear in the Against Meidios.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e145
§ e145 Eschara (hearth): Lykourgos in On the Priestess. Ammonios in On Altars says that the hearth that has no height, but is a hollow established in the ground, is called an'eschara,' by analogy to which also doctors call hollow ulcers in bodies'escharai.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e146
§ e146 Eschatia (farthest part): Demosthenes in Against Phainippos. They used to call the areas at the boundaries of the territory'eschatia', which either mountain or sea borders.

urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e153
§ e153 Euboulos: There is a speech by Hypereides On Euboulos' Gifts, and Demosthenes mentions him in For Ktesiphon. Theopompos says in the tenth book of the Philippica that he was a very prominent demagogue, diligent and industrious, and that having raised a great deal of money he distributed it to the Athenians, wherefore the city happened to become under his administration quite cowardly and careless. The comic poet is a different person, whom Hypereides mentions in Against Archestratides.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e154
§ e154 Eudikos: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. This man is one of those established by Philip as masters of all of Thessaly.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:e155
§ e155 Euenos: Hypereides in Against Autokles. They record two elegiac poets, Euenos, with the same name as each other, just as Eratosthenes (says) in On Chronographies, saying that both are Parian. But he says that he is acquainted with the younger one alone. But the other of them Plato too has mentioned.
