- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k15
§ k15 Karkinos: Lysias in the defense On the Dog, if it is genuine: “for the bitches were ruined by frequenting my crab.” And whenever the grain takes root in the earth they say that it has spread like a crab. Pherekrates in the Automoloi: “whenever you have time, send rain so that the crops may be crabbed together.” A kind of ailment that occurs in bodies is also called'crab,' which they now call carcinoma. And there is also a proper name, which Isokrates mentions in the Trapezitikos. This would be the general of the Athenians who was sent to sail around the Peloponnese. But about the tragic poet, the son of Xenokles, Lysias in Against Mnesimachos says, “And to these are added also Karkinos the poet, saying: ”the wine did not excite. For no occasion induces minds rightly fixed and planted... to go wrong.".

§ k16 Karpou dike (suit for fruit/returns): Lysias in Against Demosthenes over guardianship: “for if you accuse this young man, and he has something of yours, then sue him according to the laws: if you dispute about land, then (bring a dike) karpou, and if about a house, then (bring a dike) enoikiou, just as he now (brings) against you (a suit over) guardianship.”.

- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k18
§ k18 Katabole: Demosthenes in the ninth Philippic: “just as a period or instalment of a fever.” In the periodic illnesses an'instalment' is referred to on account of its coming at an appointed time, just as eranos members make instalment-payments of the money.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k19
§ k19 Katadedesthai (to have bound): For'to have drugged' and'to have bound with drugs,' Deinarchos in the impeachment Against Pytheas.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k20
§ k20 Kata demous dikastas (deme judges): Demosthenes in Against Timokrates. Concerning the deme judges, that previously there used to be 30 and that they used to judge cases by making rounds through the demes, and that they then became 40, Aristotle has said in the Constitution of the Athenians.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k21
§ k21 Katadikasamenos (having gotten a sentence against someone): For'having won and gotten someone condemned,' Isaios in Against Diokles for hybris.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k22
§ k22 Katagein ta ploia (to drive the ships ashore): Demosthenes in the eighth Philippic.'To drive the ships ashore' is said for'act with violence' and'maltreat,' and not to permit those who are sailing to sail where they wish, but to drive them into areas that are home to the plunderers, as also Lykourgos shows in Against Leokrates.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k23
§ k23 Katastasis (appointment): Lysias, "(that) you voted that the phylarchs render an account of those who had been in the cavalry, so that you might collect the appointment-money from them." This seems to be money that those appointed as cavalrymen used to receive upon appointment, as the orator himself indicates in the following words. Eupolis in Philoi also suggests this: “you were not so wise, old man, in taking this appointment-money suddenly, before even learning horsemanship.” And it is said still more clearly in Plato's Syrphax. The money was returned by those who had served in the cavalry, when others were appointed in their places. The Phylarchs used to demand it.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k24
§ k24 Kata ten agoran apseudein (not telling lies in the agora): Hypereides in Against Athenogenes 1: “accordingly the law orders one not to lie in the agora.” The law seems to be laid down concerning goods for sale; Theophrastos, at any rate, in On Laws says that the agoranomoi must take care of these two things, orderliness in the agora and that not only sellers but also buyers not lie.".
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k25
§ k25 Katatome (incised face): Hypereides in Against Demosthenes: “and sitting down below the rock face.” But Philochoros in book 6 says thus: “Aischraios of Anagyra dedicated the tripod above the theater, having plated it in silver, after he had won in the previous year serving as choregos for the children, and he inscribed it on the incised face of the stone.”.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k26
§ k26 Kataplex (stricken): one who has been struck continuously. Lysias in Against Aischines the Socratic, and in Against Andokides for impiety, of the speech is genuine. Theopompos in Tisamenos: “But Eileithyia is pardoned / by the women for being struck with respect to her craft.”.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k27
§ k27 Katachysmata (handfuls of treats showered down on someone): Demosthenes in Against Stephanos 1. That the masters of newly purchased (slaves) used to pour down sweets Aristophanes shows in Wealth. But also that... of those from a spectacle/embassy. They also used to be poured down over bridegrooms, as Theopompos (says) in Hedychares.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k28
§ k28 Katacheirotonia (condemnation vote): It was a custom at Athens to lay probolai against magistrates and against sycophants in the Assembly. If anyone should be condemned, this man would be led into the lawcourt. The word appears many times in Demosthenes in Against Meidias and in Hypereides in For Chairephilos concerning the salt fish. Theophrastos in book four of the Laws discusses the vote of condemnation.

- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k33
§ k33 Kegchreon: Demosthenes in the counter-suit Against Pantainetos: “and next he persuaded my slaves to sit down at the kegchreon,” for'at the purifying place where they used to dry the granules from the mines,' as Theophrastos indicates in On Mines.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k34
§ k34 Keioi: Lysias in On His Own Benefactions: “the Keians are so great a city.” Keos is one of the Cycladic islands, lying alongside Attica. The orator called the island a city. Also Euripides (called) Euboia (a city): “There is a city neighboring Athens, Euboia.” And Aristophanes says about Sicily: “What a poor city is ruined.”.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k35
§ k35 Keiriades: Isaios in the appeal against (the ruling of) the demesmen, Against Boeotos. That Keiriadai is a deme of the tribe Hippothontis Diodoros has said in On the Demes.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k36
§ k36 Kekropis: Hypereides in Against Aristogeiton. Kekropis was one of the ten tribes at Athens, as Demosthenes (shows) in the Epitaphios, if it is genuine.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k37
§ k37 Keleontes (loom uprights): Antiphon in the defense against the public suit of Demosthenes (says) “where he planted the loom uprights.” Properly the histopodes (vertical loom beams) are keleontes, as is clear also in Aristophanes the comic poet. But here the orator could mean, metaphorically, wooden posts.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k38
§ k38 Kerameis: Hypereides in For Xenophilos 1. Kerameis is a deme of the tribe Akamantis, as Diodoros says. Philochoros says in book three that they (the demesmen) took the name from the ceramic craft, and from sacrificing to a hero, Keramos.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k39
§ k39 Kerameikos: Antiphon in Against Nikokles concerning boundaries. That there are two Kerameikoi, as the orator says also, the one inside the city, the other outside it, where they used to bury at public cost those who died in war and used to give the funeral orations, Menekles or Kallikrates, shows in On Athens.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k40
§ k40 Kerkidas: Demosthenes in the For Ktesiphon, while listing the traitors says “Arkadas Kerkidas.” That this man was one of the Macedonian sympathisers, is also said by Theopompos in book 15 of the Philippika.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k41

- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k42
§ k42 Kerkops: Aeschines in On the Embassy. In the Kerkopes attributed to Homer, it is shown that the Kerkopes were deceivers and liars. Xenagoras says that they turned into monkeys (pithekous) and that the Pithekoussai Islands were named after them. Aischrion the Samian also records their names in the Iambs: Kandoulos and Atlas.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k43
§ k43 Keineas: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. That Keineas was one of those who betrayed the Thessalians' affairs to Philip is agreed also among historians, especially Theopompus in book one, where he also discusses in detail the things about this man.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k44
§ k44 Kersobleptes: The orators mention this man many times, for example Demosthenes, Against Aristokrates. He was the son of Kotys, and when he was quite young was made king of Thrace by his father. That he also waged war at some point against the Athenians over Chersonnesos Isokrates also shows in On Peace.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k45
§ k45 Kestrinoi: Hypereides in On the Salt Fish. A kestrinos is a fish. Whether it differs at all from mullet needs consideration.

- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k55
§ k55 Kephisodoros: Lykourgos in Against Menesaichmos. This man has been lampooned in comedy as dull. And another would be the Kephisodoros who, while serving as hipparch at Mantineia with Gryllos son of Xenophon, died, whom Deinarchos mentions in Against Kallaischros.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k56

§ k57 Kigklis (latticed gate): Demosthenes in Against Aristogeiton. The doors of the lawcourts used to be called'latticed gates.' Aristophanes in Daitales: “The heliast was walking toward the latticed gate.”.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k58
§ k58 Kinados: For'beast:' Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. But it is also in comedy, as, for example, in Aristophanes. In particular, they say that Sicilians call the fox a'kinadion.'.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k59
§ k59 Kinesias: There are two speeches of Lysias against Kinesias, in which he mentions the man many times, saying that he was most impious and unlawful and that the comic poets even write against him every year. This man would be the dithyrambic poet whom the comic poets have mentioned often, Strattis included, writing an entire play against him, which was titled' Kinesias,' in which he made fun of his impiety.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k60
§ k60 Kirraion pedion (Kirraian plain): Aischines in Against Ktesiphon. Kirra is a city 30 stades from Delphi. The orator, therefore, seems to call that which lies beside this city' Kirrhaian plain.'.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k61
§ k61 Kisthene: Isokrates in the Panegyrikos. A mountain in Thrace. Kratinos: “And from here you will come to the ends of the earth and see Mount Kisthine.”.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k62
§ k62 Kittophoros (ivy-wearing): Some write'kistophoros' (basket-carrying) with the sigma; for they used to say that the so-called kistai (baskets) were sacred to Dionysos and the two goddesses.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k63
§ k63 Klimazei (bends): Deinarchos in the speech titled'Supporting Speech for Aischines Against Deinias:' “thus, whenever, in defense, one bends and deflects the laws,” for'turns aside and diverts.' But perhaps one must write'blimazei' (squeezes) so that it is, for example,'afflicts' and'violates.'.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k64
§ k64 Klerouchoi: Demosthenes in the eighth of the Philippics. Those whom Athenians used to send to the cities which they took, distributing shares (kleroi) to each, used to be called cleruchs. Isokrates in the Panegyrikos: “for which it is fitting that right minded men have great gratitude, much rather than reproach us for our cleruchies, which we are accustomed to send into those cities that are deserted for the sake of protection of the territories but not owing to greed.” But in On the Symmories Demosthenes would call the property/names of those sent out to any other territory whatsoever on a cleruchy'cleruchic.' For how is it possible for one who is not residing in Athens to serve as trierarch?.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k65
§ k65 Klesis (summons): The summons to court, that is, the order (to come) to trial. Demosthenes in Against Aristokrates. Moreover, that they also used to say'proskleseis' (summons) the same (orator) shows in On the Estate of Hagnias.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k66
§ k66 Kleteres kai kleteuein (witnesses to a summons and to be a witness to a summons): the men through whom those who go to law with people summon (them) to the suits are'kleteres.' For it was necessary that people be present as witnesses to the summons. Isaios in Against Neokles concerning a plot of land. The word is altogether common both among the orators and in old comedy. To become a witness to a summons is'kleteusai,' as Isaios (shows) in Against Kleomedon. And'kleteuesthai' and'ekkleteuesthai' are said with reference to witnesses whenever people do not give heed to the testimony in the courts, and there is a fine against them, 1000 drachmas, as Isaios (shows) in For Python (on a charge of) departure.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k67
§ k67 Kobaleia: Deinarchos in the impeachment Against Pytheas. Childishness affected with deceit used to be called'kobaleia,' and the one who employs this is a'kobalos.' It seems to be synonymous with bomolochos (one who lurks by the altar): Philochoros in book 2 of Atthis: “One mustn't believe, as some say, that Dionysos was some kind of bomolochos and kobalos.” And Aristotle in book 8 of the History of Animals says that the horned owl, being a kobalos and a mimic, captures (prey) by imitating their dance.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k68
§ k68 Koinon grammateion kai lexiarchikon common and lexiarchic register): the common register is the one into which those being introduced to their phratry members and clansmen used to be enrolled, and the lexiarchic is the one into which those being enrolled in the demes used to be enrolled, as Isaios, in On the Estate of Apollodoros, and other orators show.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k69
§ k69 Koinonikon (held in common): Demosthenes in On the Symmories. He could mean that perhaps brothers who possess undivided property, whose father was able to perform liturgies, though the heirs to his property were not sufficient to perform a trierarchy alone, were'common-holders.' But perhaps (he could be speaking) about those who contract a voluntary partnership for commerce or some other thing, each of whom did not possess the full value of the common property.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k70
§ k70 Koironidai: There is a speech by Lykourgos entitled, “Diadikasia of the Krokonidai Against Koironidai,” which some think is by Philinos. The Koironidai are a family, about whom Istros speaks in the Attic Collection. They would have been named after Koiron, who they say was an illegitimate brother of Krokon, as a result of which the Krokonidai were more honoured. The author of the speech, whoever he is, says that they were called by three names, the Koironidai, Philieis, and Perithoidai.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k71
§ k71 Kollyteus: Aischines in Against Timarchos. Kollytos is a deme of the tribe Aigeis.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k72
§ k72 Kolonetai: Hypereides in Against Apellaios about the Treasury. They used to call hired laborers Kolonetai, because they stood near the Kolonos (Mound) which is near the Agora, where the Hephaisteion and the Eurysakeion are. This Kolonos was called Agoraios (of the Agora). There was also another Kolonos near the temple of Poseidon, as Hypereides (says) in Against Autokles; this might have been the one that belonged to the Cavalrymen. Pherekrates (says) in Petale: “You, where have you come from? I was hurrying to Kolonos, / Not Agoraios, but the one belonging to the Cavalrymen.” Demosthenes says, “among those from Kolonos ”. Diodoros the Periegete and Philochoros in book three of Atthis discussed the Kolonoi.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k73
§ k73 Komistika ploia (transport ships): Hypereides in On Protection against the Tyrrhenians. Ships on which the Tyrrhenians used to transport captured plunder seem to have been called transport ships, as the orator himself indicates in the speech.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k74
§ k74 Kommata kai kyrebia: Deinarchos in the impeachment Against Kallisthenes. Kyrebia are husks and kommata seem to be certain parts either of the stalk or of the parts that are around the grain itself on the ear, or of the beards.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k75
§ k75 Kordakismos (dancing the kordax ): Demosthenes in the Philippics. The kordax is a kind of comic dance, as Aristoxenos says in On Tragic Dance. The word appears often in old comedy, for example in Nikophon.

- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k78
§ k78 Kotylaion oros (Mount): Aischines in Against Ktesiphon. The mountain appears to belong to Euboia. Archemachos at any rate in book three of Euboika says, “Kotylos then seems to cover/include the mountain that is now called' Kotylaion' after that (place).”.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k79
§ k79 Kotys: Demosthenes in Against Aristokrates. This man ruled Thrace for 24 years, and at first spent his time on luxuriousness and easy living, but then when his prosperity increased he was carried away into cruelty and rage; for example, his wife from whom he had children, he sliced down the middle with his own hands, starting from her pudenda.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k80
§ k80 Krauallidai: Aischines in the Against Ktesiphon. Didymos says it should be written Kraugallidai, since the place in Phokaia near Kirrai is called Kraugallion, as Xenagoras records in book 4 of the Chronicles.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k81
§ k81 Krastis (green fodder): Deinarchos in Against Lysikrates. Grass is krastis, as also Aristophanes (says).
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k82

- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k85
§ k85 Ktesiou Dios (of Zeus Ktesios ): Hypereides in Against Apellaios. They used to set up (statues of) Zeus Ktesios in their storerooms. Menander (says) in Pseuderakles (False Herakles ): “Now whenever I see a parasite entering the women's apartments, and Zeus Ktesios not keeping the storeroom locked, but whores running in”.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k86
§ k86 Ktesiphon: Demosthenes in Against Aischines: “For at first, until Philip obtained leave to speak on the peace, Ktesiphon and Aristodemos were carrying out the beginning of the cheating.” He was one of the ten ambassadors who went on the embassy with Demosthenes and Aischines. Each of the orators at any rate in his speech on the embassy mentions him several times. The one who wrote the decree on the crown for Demosthenes, against whom is the speech by Aischines, Against Ktesiphon, could be some other person.

- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k91
§ k91 Kykloi (Circles): Deinarchos in Against Kallaischros. They used to call'Circles' the places where people were sold. They were after the fact that the people being sold stood around in a circle. Menander (says) in Ephesios (The Man from Ephesus ): “I already seem to see myself by the gods naked in the Circles, running in a circle and being sold.”.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k92

- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k96
§ k96 Kypassis: Lysias in For Bacchios and Pythagoras, if it is genuine. The gloss-writers say that the kypassis is itself a type of chiton, some that it is a woman's, others that it is a man's. And Hipponax has mentioned it, as well as Hekataios in Periodos of Europe, saying, “Kissians wear Persian kypasseis as clothing;” also Aristophanes in Tagenistai.
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:k97
§ k97 Kyrbeis: Lykourgos in On the Priestess. Apollodoros says in On Gods that kyrbeis hold the inscribed laws, and that they are stones standing upright, which after their upright posture they used to call'stelai' and after their rising to a height, owing to the fact that they were crested, they used to call'kyrbeis,' just like a kyrbasia ( Persian cap) that is placed on the head.
