Harpokration, Lexicon of the Ten Orators

§ l12 Leuke acte: Lysias in Against Alkibiades. Though there are many Leukai, as Demetrios the Magnesian shows, here the orator seems to mention the one in Propontis.

§ l13 Leukonoieus (demesman from Leukonoion): Demosthenes in Against Aphobos. Leukonoion is a deme of the tribe Leontis, as Diodoros says.

§ l14 Leuktra: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. It is a Boiotian place around Thespiai.

§ l15 Lechaion: In the defense against the public suit of Mixidemos Lysias says that Lechaion was captured in the archonship of Mnasippos. Lechaion is the Corinthians' port.

§ l16 Leokoreion: Demosthenes in Against Konon. Phanodemos in book 9 of Atthis says that the Leokoreion is in the middle of the Kerameikos.

§ l17 Lexiarchikon grammateion (lexiarchic register): Aischines in Against Timarchos, (it is the record) into which used to be enrolled those children who had passed into adulthood, for whom it was possible thenceforth to administer their patrimony, according to which the word also (seems) to have arisen, on account of'taking control of one's shares' (lexeon archein). One's estates and properties are'shares' (lexeis), as Deinarchos (says) in the supporting speech for an epikleros Against Hegelochos [Keaney: ἐν τῇ Κατὰ Ἡγελόχου"].

§ l18 Lexis: The plaint, according to which logic we say also that one obtains leave to bring a suit. Isaios in the ephesis Against Boiotos.

§ l19 Lete: Hyperides in Against Demades. Lete is a city of Macedonia, and Marsyas the Younger mentions it many times in book 6 of Makedonika.

§ l20 Lithos (stone): Demosthenes in Against Konon: “and of those present with us, leading them one by one to the stone and administering the oath.” Athenians seem to make their oaths at some stone, as Aristotle in the Constitution of the Athenians and Philochoros in book 3 indicate.

§ l21 Liknophoros (carrying the winnowing fan): Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. The winnowing fan is useful for every rite and sacrifice. So, the one who carries this would be called a winnowing fan carrier (liknophoros).

§ l22 Lipara: Deinarchos in Tyrrhenikos. Lipara is one of the so-called islands of Aiolos round Sicily, as Eudoxos says in book 7 of Periodos.

§ l23 Logismos: The skill of calculation: Isokrates, in Bousiris.

§ l24 Logistai kai logisteria (auditors and auditors' offices): There is an office among Athenians so called. They are ten in number, who audit the public scrutinies of the matters administered (by magistrates) within 30 days of whenever the magistrates lay down their offices: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. Aristotle has discussed these in the Constitution of the Athenians, where he shows that they are different from the euthynoi. The comic poets too have mentioned the office. Eupolis in the Cities: “gentlemen auditors of the choruses under scrutiny.” The offices of the auditors are logisteria, as Deinarchos in Against Timokrates and Andokides in On the Mysteries show.

§ l25 Logopoios (prose writer/chronicler/fabulist): One who is called an historian by us: Isokrates in Bousiris and Herodotos in book 2.

§ l26 Logou tychein (to come by speech): For'praise:' Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon.

§ l27 Loidias: Aischines in On the Embassy. That it is a river in Macedonia Hekataios, in Periodos of Europe, and others recount.

§ l28 Loutrophoros and loutrophorein (bath water carrier and to carry bath water): It was a custom for people getting married to send for bath-water for themselves on the day of their wedding, and for this they used to send the male child who was the most closely related, and these boys would carry the water. It was a custom also when people died unmarried to have a loutrophoros placed on the tomb. This was a boy holding a water jar. Deinarchos talks about these things both in his Against Theodotos and in the impeachment Against Kallisthenes. That they used to fetch the bath-water from the spring that is now called Enneakrounos, but was formerly called Kallirhoe Philostephanos says in On Springs. The comic poets have also mentioned the custom.

§ l29 Lousieus: Hypereides in Against the Graphe of Demeas. Lousia is a deme of the tribe Oineis, the demesman from which is a Lousieus, as Diodoros says.

§ l30 Lykeion: Demosthenes in Against Timokrates. The Lykeion is one of the gymnasia among the Athenians, which Theopompos in the 21st book (says) that Peisistratos made; but Philochoros in the 4th book says that it arose when Perikles was epistates.

§ l31 Lykiourgeis: Demosthenes in Against Timotheos. Didymos says that the phialai made by Lykios son of Myron were so called. But the grammatikos seems not to know that one would not find such a formation arising from proper names, but rather from cities and peoples. Kritias says “ Milesian -made couch” in the Constitution of the Lakedaimonians. Perhaps, then, one ought to write also in Herodotos in book seven, instead of “two wolf -made spears,” “ Lycian -made,” so that, just as in Demosthenes, things made in Lykia may be so named.

§ l32 Lykourgos: One of the ten orators, whose ancestor was Lykourgos the lawgiver.

§ l33 Lysandros: A proper name, a naval commander of the Lakedaimonians.

§ l34 Lysimachos: Demosthenes in On The Tax Immunities. He was a son of Aristides, who was called The Just. But there is another Lysimachos, whom Lykourgos mentions in On the Financial Administration as a worthless lyric poet.

§ m1 Maimakterion: The fifth month among Athenians. Demosthenes in Against Timotheos. It was named after Zeus Maimaktes. One who is ecstatic and disturbing is'maimaktes,' as Lysimachides says in On the Months at Athens. And when winter gets its start in this month the air is disturbed and keeps changing.

§ m2 Makrokephaloi (bigheaded ones): Antiphon in On Concord. There is a nation so called which also Hesiod has mentioned in book three of the Catalogue of Women. Palaiphatos in book seven of the Troika says that the Makrokephaloi live in Libya beyond the Kolchians.

§ m3 Malkiomen (we go numb): Demosthenes in the ninth of the Philippics says, “we are idle and go soft.” In some it is written'malkiomen' (we go numb), which shows that one's ass is shivering. Aischylos: “Drive on, pursue, numb in your unwearied foot.”.

§ m4 Malthe (a mix of wax and pitch): softened wax: Demosthenes in Against Stephanos. Hipponax: “next having daubbed the keel with malthe.”.

§ m5 Mantineion dioikismos ( Mantineans' displacement): Isokrates in On The Peace, speaking about Lakedaimonians, says, “they displaced the Mantineans,” and Ephoros in the 20th book says that the Lakedaimonians displaced the Mantineans' city into 5 villages.

§ m6 Margites: Aischines in Against Ktesiphon: “and he gave a nickname,' Margites,' to Alexander.” Also Marsyas in book 3 of On Alexander gives an account, saying that Alexander was called' Margites' by Demosthenes. And they used to call senseless people thus, on account of the Margites attributed to Homer, which very poem Kallimachos seems to admire.

§ m7 Maroneia: Demosthenes in the counter-suit against Pantainetos. It is a place in Attica. Maroneia is, however, also a city in Thrace, which they say was called Ismaros by Homer. And both Demosthenes in Against Polykles and Ephoros in the fourth book refer to it.

§ m8 Massalia: Isokrates says in Archidamos that Phokaians sent a colony to Massalia after fleeing from the tyranny of the Great King. But that Massalia had already been settled by the Phokaians before this time, Aristotle also shows in his Constitution of the Massaliotes.

§ m9 Masteira: In the eighth of the Phillipics Demosthenes (says), “awful (places) in Thrace. For what else could a person call Droggilon and Kabyle and Masteira?” Perhaps one ought to write'Basteira' or' Pisteira' or'Epimastos,' since we find these cities in Anaximenes in book 7 of Matters Concerning Philip, but (we find) Masteira receiving mention nowhere.

§ m10 Masteres (searchers): Hypereides in Against Pankalos. It seems to have been an office assigned to searching out common property of the people, like the'inquirers' (zetetai) and the'searchers' (mastroi) in Pellene, as Aristotle (says) in the Constitution of the Pellenians.

§ m11 Matryleion (brothel): Deinarchos in Against Proxenos. Herakleon and Didymos say that it is a place in which old women spend time receiving those who wish to get drunk. Menander in Epitrepontes: “will he not lament, having wasted his life in a matryleion?”.

§ m12 Mausolos: Demosthenes in Against Timokrates. Proper name, ruler of the Carians. Theopompos says that he shies away from no business for the sake of money.

§ m13 Machatas: proper name.

§ m14 Medimnos: Deinarchos in Against Kallisthenes. It is a measure for dry goods, such as wheat or barley, and it holds 48 choinikes, just as Nikandros of Thyateira says in Explanations of the Attic dialect.

§ m15 Methone: Demosthenes in the Philippics. He would mean the one in Thrace, while besieging which Philip lost his right eye. Demetrios the Magnesian in Synonymous Cities says that there were four Methones.

§ m16 Meion and Meiagogos (too little and man bringing too little): Isaios in Against Stratokles says “He presented a meion.” It is a sacrifice which those introducing their sons to them offered to the phratores. Eratosthenes in his books On Comedy says thus: “Given that there is a law not to introduce less (meion) than a determined amount, jesting in fun they used to tell every man who introduced (his son) that he had introduced too little (meion).” Apollodoros in his books On The Gods says, “The phratores, in order to receive larger portions, used to stand around and say,'It must be weighed, for it is too little (meion).'” Regarding the meiagogos, Eupolis says in Demoi: “Therefore no general since that time could, like a meiagogos feasting... outweigh that man's victory.” To contribute the meion to the phratores is'bring the meion' (meiagogesai), as Lysias (says) in Against Demosthenes for guardianship.

§ m17 Melanippeion: Lykourgos in Against Lykophron. It is a hero shrine of Melanippos son of Theseus, as Asklepiades says in Tragoidoumena. But Kleidemos in book 1 of Atthis says that it is in Melite.

§ m18 Melanopos: Demosthenes, Against Androtion. A proper name, an inlaw of Diophantos the orator.

§ m19 Meline (millet): Demosthenes in the Philippics. It is a pulse seed, and they say it in the masculine. But Sophokles in Triptolemos (uses) the feminine, “a stem of meline,” and Herodotos, “sowing meline.” Xenophon, Anabasis book 1, (says) “of grain and meline,” but in the same work, “much sesame and melinos” and in book 6, “all pulses and melinoi.” Some, then, reckon that meline is a type of millet (kegchros), the same thing that some call elymos (millet). But Theophrastos in book 7 of On Plants records that these are different: “kegchros or meline or elymos.”.

§ m20 Melite: Demosthenes in Against Konon. It is a deme of the tribe Kekropis. Philochoros in book 3 says that the deme was named after Melite, the daughter of Myrmex, according to Hesiod, but of Apollo son of Zeus, according to Mousaios.

§ m21 Mende: Demosthenes, Against Lakritos. Mende is one city among those in Pallene, founded by Eretrians.

§ m22 Menelaos: Demosthenes in the Philippics. A brother of Philip, by the same father.

§ m23 Mesegguema: the agreed sum of money (deposited) with a middle man who is serving as guarantor for the payment. And to do this is called'to deposit a sum with a middle man guarantor' as Aischines indicates in Against Ktesiphon.

§ m24 Metageitnion: Hypereides in For Xenippos. The second month among Athenians is so called. In this month they sacrifice to Apollo Metageitnios, as Lysimachides (says) in On the Months at Athens.

§ m25 Metalleis (miners): Lysias in Against Diochares, if it is genuine. Those who work the mines are called metalleis. There is also a play of Phrekrates, Metalleis, which Eratosthenes in book 7 of On Old Comedy says that Nikomachos wrote.

§ m26 Metapyrgion (curtain wall): Lysias in On His Own Benefactions. The intervening construction between towers in a wall used to be called a'metapyrgion.' So also Thucydides many times, for example in the third book.

§ m27 Metoikion (metic tax): Hypereides in Against Aristagora. He who changes his home from one city to another, and not visiting for a short time as an alien, but having established residence there, is a metic. There used to be paid by them each year twelve drachmas, which was called'metoikion,' as Euboulos shows in Plaggon. And Isaios indicates in Against Elpagoras and (Against) Demophanes that a man used to pay twelve drachmas in metoikion and a woman six, and that if her son dies the mother did not pay; but if he is not dead she does pay. And that slaves, when they were freed by their masters, also used to pay the metoikion, Aristomenes and other comic poets have shown. And Menander in Anatithemene and Didymai says that these (freedmen) pay also a triobol in addition to the twelve drachmas, perhaps to the tax-collector. Those metics, however, who do not pay the metoikion were brought before the poletai, and if they were convicted they were sold, as Demosthenes says in Against Aristogeiton. They also used to board the metics on their ships, as the orator shows in the Philippics. And the comic poets used to call the metics'bowls', since in the processions they used to carry the bowls.

§ m28 Metoionisasthai (to obtain happier omens): for'to change the bad bird sign,' Deinarchos in Against Demosthenes.

§ m29 Metronomoi (weights and measures inspectors): an office at Athens is that of the metronomoi, as Deinarchos (says) in Against Kallisthenes. They were 10 in number, five in Peiraieus and five in the city, and they used to take care that the sellers' measures were lawful, as also Aristotle shows in the Constitution of the Athenians.

§ m30 Metaulos (inner court): Lysias in the defense On the Murder of Eratosthenes. The so-called dirty court is the'metaulos,' where the birds were. Aristophanes in the Lemnian Women and Menander in Thais.

§ m31 Mekyberna: Hypereides in Against Demades. Mekyberna is a city in Thrace, 20 stades away from Olynthos.

§ m32 Melobios: Hypereides in Against Autokles. He is one of the thirty tyrants among Athenians.

§ m33 Metroion: Lykourgos in Against Aristogeiton. They used to deposit the laws, after recording them, in the Metroion. Deinarchos shows (this) in Against Pytheas.

§ m34 Mikon: Lykourgos in On the Priestess: “and they punished Mikon who painted the Greeks inferiorly.”.

§ m35 Molpis: Lysias in On the Estate of Diogenes says, “ Molpis, one of the ten in Peiraieus.” For the ten men in the time of the Thirty were ruling in Peiraieus, one of whom was Molpis, as Androtion (says) in book three of Atthis.

§ m36 Moirokles: a proper name, a Salaminian, one of the not undistinguished politicians among Athenians.

§ m37 Moirologchesai (to receive a portion): For'to take a share of a part:" Antiphon in the defense Against the Endeixis of Kallias.

§ m38 Mounychia: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. A seaside place in Attica. Hellanikos in book 2 of Atthis says that it was named after a certain king Mounychos son of Pantakles.

§ m39 Mounychion: Hypereides in For Xenophilos. The tenth month among Athenians is so called, and in this month sacrifice is made to Artemis Mounychia.

§ m40 Mousaios: Lysias, against the public suit of Mixidemos, if it is genuine: “and that two slaves are following him, of whom this man calls the one Mousaios and the other Hesiod.” That the man brought to trial contrived to call the slaves thus is clear. But concerning Mousaios, Aristoxenos in Praxidamanteia says that some have said that the man is from Thrace and others that he is a native from Eleusis. And about him Glaukos and others have spoken.

§ m41 Moran: Demosthenes in the Phillipics. Certain Laconian contingents are called this. Aristotle has discussed them in the Constitution of the Lakedaimonians. And he says that there are six named morai and that all Lakedaimonians have been divided into moras. And Xenophon says in the Constitution of the Lakedaimonians, “and each of the civil morai has one polemarch, 4 lochagoi, 8 pentekostyes, and 10 enomotarchoi.”.

§ m42 Mylothros: He who owns a mill and works in it: Deinarchos in Against Kallisthenes, many times. The word is also common among the comic poets.

§ m43 Myrioi en Magalei polei (ten thousand in Megalopolis ): Demosthenes in Against Aischines. It is a common council of all Arcadians, which the historians mention many times. And Aristotle too has discussed them in the Common Constitution of Arcadians, as he begins the book.

§ m44 Myrtanon: Demosthenes, For Ktesiphon. It was a fort in Thrace, as Marsyas the elder in book 7 of the Makedonika and Anaximenes in the Philippika (say).

§ m45 Myrtis: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon, recounting those who betrayed each city says, “ Myrtis, Teledamos, Mnaseas (betrayed the) Argives.” But Theopompos in the 51st book names Paseas and Amyrtaios as the Macedonizers among the Argives. Thus, (one must) see whether they are graphic errors.

§ m46 Myson leian ( Mysians' plunder): Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. It is a proverb, so said, which Demon says in book 1 of On Proverbs took its origin from those neighbors and brigands who ravaged Mysia during the absence of King Telephos. Others have used the proverb, including Strattis in Medea and Simonides in iambics.

§ n1 Nais: A certain prostitute: Lysias in Against Philonides, if it is genuine, and Aristophanes in Gerytades. And perhaps also in Wealth, where the comic poet says, “Does Lais not love Philonides on account of you?” one ought to write it with the ny, Nais.

§ n2 Nannion: Hypereides in Against Patrokles, if it is genuine. Apollodoros in On the Prostitutes says that this prostitute is called Aix ( Goat ) on account of the fact that she devoured Thallos the shopkeeper. For that goats enjoy a shoot (thallos) Sophokles also (shows) in Shepherds: “For at dawn, before any of the farm servants saw, / as I was bringing a fresh-plucked shoot for the she- goats / I saw an army marching on the headland by the sea.” And there is mention of her also in comedy. And Antiphanes the younger in On the Prostitutes says that Nannion is nicknamed Proskenion (Backdrop) on account of the fact that she seems to have a better figure on the outside.

§ n3 Naukleros: Hypereides in On the Salt Fish uses the word not only as is the custom, but also applied to him who has leased (a property) with a view to collecting rents, either from a house or a tenement, as the same orator shows in Against Aristogeiton, as does Sannyrion in Gelos, and Diphilos in Emporos.

§ n4 Naukrarika (Things of the Naukraroi ): Demosthenes in Against Timokrates. But perhaps it is transmitted better in the Attic authors as Naukratitika (things from Naukratis ), so that it comes from a Naukratitic ship or Naukratitic sailors. For Naukratis was the ancient trading port of Egypt. But if it is naukrarika, it would be things to do with the archons: for they used to call archons naukraroi, as Herodotus indicates in book 5. Aristotle in the Constitution of the Athenians says “they established demarchs who had the same responsibility as the former naukraroi.” [they made demes in place of naucraries.].

§ n5 Nautodikai: Lysias in Against Alkibiades, if the speech is genuine. The nautodikai were an office at Athens. Krateros at any rate in book 4 of On Decrees says, “if someone born from two foreign parents joins a phratry, it is for him who wishes of the Athenians — to whom suits are available — to prosecute, and bring suit before the nautidikai on the last day of the month.” Aristophanes, in Daitaleis, “Dunking a foreigner, I want to (haul him) right off to the nautodikai.”.

§ n6 Neales (newly caught): Demosthenes in Against Aristogeiton, if it is genuine. One who is recently caught/convicted used to be called thus, by metaphor from fish.

§ n7 Nebrizon (wearing/robing in a fawnskin): Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. Some (see this) as pertaining to an initiate when he has tied on a fawnskin or is girding the initiands in fawnskins, but others (see it) applying to ripping fawns apart according to some unspeakable precept. Fawnskin wearing (nebrismos) also appears in Arignotes, in On the Teletai.

§ n8 Neelata (newly rolled): Demosthenes, For Ktesiphon, by ellipsis for'newly rolled barley groats,' newly ground, soaking which in honey and throwing in raisins and green chickpeas, they used to distribute them to those performing the rituals. Some used to call this'ambrosia,' and others,'bliss.'.

§ n9 Nemeas Charadra (Nemean gully): Aischines, On the Embassy. A place in the Peloponnese used to he called so. “Near Nemean Charadra,” (says) Ephoros in book 23.

§ n10 Nemeas: Hypereides mentions Nemeas the pipe-girl [Νεμέας: Νεμέαδος αὐλητρίδος] in Against Patrokles, if it is genuine. Polemon in On the Acropolis adduces a decree according to which it was forbidden in Athens to give the name of a penteteric festival to a slave-woman or freedwoman or prostitute or pipe-girl; it is reasonable to wonder, then, how the pipe-girl was named thusly.

§ n11 Nemeseia: Demosthenes in Against Spoudias. Perhaps it was a certain festival of Nemesis, at which they used to perform the customary rites for the departed.

§ n12 Neon: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. Concerning the friendship of this man with Philip Theopompos gives an account in book 2 of the Philippica.

§ n13 Neoria kai neosoikoi (shipyards and shipsheds): Perhaps the whole place into which the triremes are hauled up and hauled down back out of it is called'dockyards,' as Lykourgos indicates in Defense of His Policy and Andokides in On the Peace, if the speech is genuine.

§ n14 Neosi: Demosthenes, Against Aischines. It is a city in Phokis, which Herodotos in book 8 names Neon, but Androtion in book 6 of Atthis, Neones.

§ n15 Nikaia: Aischines in On the Embassy. It is a seaside city in Lokris.

§ n16 Nikanor: Hypereides in Against Demosthenes. There have been three Nikanors, one a son of Balakros, and another a son of Parmenion, and another a Stagirite by descent, whom the orator would mention here.

§ n17 Athena Nike: Lykourgos in On The Priestess. That the wingless xoanon of Nike Athena with a pomegranate in her right hand and a helmet in her left was honored by the Athenians, Heliodoros the periegete has shown in book 1 of On the Acropolis.

§ n18 Notheia (bastard's inheritance): Things given to bastards from their patrimony used to be called so, and it was up to one thousand drachmas. Lysias in Against Kalliphanes for xenia (being a foreigner), if it is genuine, Isaios Against Lysibios regarding inheritance. Aristophanes in Birds: “What if my father gives me his money as bastard's inheritance when he dies? The law doesn't allow him.” In which things it was not possible for bastards to participate Hypereides has shown in Against Aristagoras 2. Demosthenes in Against Aristokrates says that they used to pay for the Kynosarges.

§ n19 Nomophylakes (guardians of the laws): An office among Athenians used to be so called, different from the thesmothetai: Deinarchos, Against Himeraios, and in Against Pytheas. Philochoros in the seventh book discussed other things about them including that they used to compel the magistrates to use the laws.

§ n20 Notion: Lysias Against Mantias. That it is a place lying before the city of the Kolophonians Theopompos says in the 15th book.

§ n21 Nymphaion: Aischines in Against Ktesiphon says, “ Nymphaion on the Pontos.” Krateros in book 9 of Decrees says that Nymphaion used to pay a talent to Athenians.

§ x1 Xenizein (to speak with a foreign accent): Demosthenes in the ephesis Against Euboulides, many times. Some (say that it is) as it were to use a foreign dialect/language, but perhaps it would be spending time in a foreign land instead.

§ x2 Xenikon en Korinthoi (mercenary contingent in Korinth ): Demosthenes in the Philippics and Aristophanes in Ploutos. Konon first organized it, and Iphikrates later took it over, and also Chabrias, using which they cut down the Lakedaimonians' division when Iphikrates was their general, and Kallikles, according as Androtion and Philochoros say.

§ x3 Xeniteuomenous (serving as mercenaries abroad): for'serving for pay:' Isokrates in Philip and in one of the letters to Philip. Antiphanes in Euthydikos: “I was on campaign, serving as a mercenary.”.

§ x4 Xeraloiphein (to rub dry with oil): Aischines, Against Timarchos. They use to call anointing without washing'rubbing dry with oil,' as Didymos (says) in book 28 of Tragic Speech and Nikandros in book 18 of Attic Dialect, adding that perhaps also that which is called'dry-rubbing' by trainers (lit. anointers) used to be so called. Sophokles in Peleus: “and dry-rubbing through the garment's folds.”.

§ x5 Xypetaiones (demesmen of Xypete ): Hypereides, Against Archestratides. Xypete is a deme of the tribe Kekropis, the demesman from which is a Xypetaion, as Diodoros (says).

§ x6 Xystis (robe): Lysias in Against Nikodemos and Kritoboulos. The xystis is an embroidered woman's garment, as some of the comic playwrights make clear including Antiphanes in his Pleasant Voyage: “the man dressed elaborately as if in a xystis”. There is also a garment used in tragedies that is so called, as Kratinos (says) in his Horae. It is also an equestrian garment, as Aristophanes (says) in his Clouds.

§ o1 Obolostatoi (weighs obols): For “lends,” Lysias in Against Nikides, if genuine. In Against Lakrates he says, making it clear, “Not even if one should reckon much less interest than these obol-weighing men exact from others.” And they used to call lenders “obol-weighers,” as in Hypereides, in Against Polyeuktos, and often in comedy.

§ o2 Hodos [road]: Demosthenes in the Against Aristokrates says “or killing him on the road” instead of in an ambush or “enedra” [lying in wait]. They say also that this is the sense of the Homeric word “elthemenai”. But if the first syllable should is written with smooth breathing [odos], it denotes'threshold,' as in Lysias in Against Philippos, if the speech is genuine.

§ o3 Othneios: Isaios in Against Stratokles for'alien,' as also in Plato in book 1 of Laws.

§ o4 Oiethen (from Oie ): Isaios in Against Elpagoras. Oie is a deme of the tribe Pandionis, as Diodoros (says).'Oiethen' is an adverb of place. Philochoros in the third book recounts that Oie is the daughter of Kephalos and wife of Charops.
