Headword:
Abaris
Adler number: alpha,18
Translated headword: Abaris, Avars
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Scythian, son of Seuthes. He wrote the so-called Scythinian Oracles[1] and Marriage of the river Hebros and Purifications and a Theogony in prose and Arrival of Apollo among the Hyperboreans in meter. He came from Scythia to Greece.
The legendary arrow belongs to him, the one he flew on from Greece to Hyperborean Scythia. It was given to him by Apollo.[2]
Gregory the Theologian mentioned this man in his Epitaphios for Basil the Great.[3]
They say[4] that once, when there was a plague throughout the entire inhabited world, Apollo told the Greeks and barbarians who had come to consult his oracle that the Athenian people should make prayers on behalf of all of them. So, many peoples sent ambassadors to them, and Abaris, they say, came as ambassador of the Hyperboreans in the third Olympiad.[5]
[Note] that the Bulgarians thoroughly destroyed the Avars[6] by force.
[Note] that these Avars drove out the Sabinorians, when they themselves had been expelled by peoples living near the shore of the Ocean, who left their own land when a mist formed in the flood of the Ocean and a crowd of griffins appeared; the story was that they would not stop until they had devoured the race of men. So the people driven away by these monsters invaded their neighbors. As the invaders were stronger, the others submitted and left, just as the Saragurians, when they were driven out, went to the Akatziri Huns.[7]
The declension is Abaris, Abaridos [genitive singular], Abaridas [accusative plural], and with apocope Abaris [nominative plural].
See about these things under 'Bulgarians'.[8]

Notes:
See generally A.H. Griffiths in OCD(4) p.1: "legendary devotee of Apollo from the far north, a shamanistic missionary and saviour-figure like
Aristeas [
alpha 3900]". Adler credits this part of the entry to the
Epitome Onomatologi Hesychii Milesii.
[1] Or in one manuscript, 'Skythian'.
[2] Perhaps from a scholion on the passage about to be cited (so Adler). Cf.
Herodotos 4.36.1 (web address 1).
[3] Gregory of Nazianzus PG 36.524b.
[4] This material is from Harpokration s.v.
*)/abaris
[5] 768-765 BCE. Harpokration (see preceding note) cites Hippostratos (FGrH 568 F4) to this effect, but adds that there were later alternatives: the twenty-first Olympiad (696-693) or "the time of Croesus, king of
Lydia" (so
Pindar, fr.270 Snell-Maehler), i.e. c.560-546.
[6] The word used for the Avars here,
*)aba/ris, is a homograph for the name of the Hyperborean wise man Abaris, so this separate section on the Avars is included in this entry. There is no indication that the lexicographer sees any connection between the two topics.

Notes:
The closest comparanda for this entry in its entirety are found in the
Platonic Lexicon ascribed to
Timaeus (971b.10);
Synagoge (Codex B) alpha99;
Photius,
Lexicon alpha134 and alpha141 Theodoridis; none of these matches up precisely, however. Snippets evidently from the same source appear elsewhere, as noted below.
[1] For the distinction see already
alpha 186. Thus far the entry =
Synagoge alpha49; cf. Aelius
Dionysius alpha17;
Eudemus 3.20;
Hesychius alpha424, omicron3.
[2] Julian,
Oration 7 (205D), where "such-and-such" = the invention of myth. The glosses (minus the quotation) in this and the previous sentence are paralleled in
Etymologicum Gudianum 4.3 and
Etymologicum Magnum 7.41.
[3] cf.

[4] The reference is probably to
Herodotus 2.93.1, where both
i)xqu/es a)gelai=oi and the adverb
a)gelhdo/n (
alpha 191) appear (see web address 1). This etymological information also appears in Harpokration alpha8 Keaney (4.13 Dindorf) as well as in some of the sources cited above.

Agnômonôs
Adler number: alpha,284

And
Demosthenes in the Philippics [sc. uses the word] to mean
a)logi/stws ["without reason"] and
a)bou/lws ["without counsel"].[2]

Headword:
Agoranomias
Adler number: alpha,302
Translated headword: market-supervisorship, market-supervisorships
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] auditorship/s. The term is applied to those who oversee sales in the cities.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the related concrete noun] "market-supervisors" [
agoranomoi]: the officials who manage the sales in the marketplace [sc. in
Athens].[2]
Aristophanes in
Acharnians [writes]: "as market-supervisors of the market I appoint the three who were chosen by lot, the thongs from Leprous."[3] That is, straps, whips. For in olden days the auditors of the marketplace used to beat people with whips. And "leprous" [
leprou/s] some explain as [sc. wordplay] from the verb
lepein, that is, "to beat"; others from Lepreon a small town of the Peloponnese which
Callimachus also mentions in the
Hymns: "citadel of Kaukones, which is called Lepreion."[4] Others still [sc. derive it] from mangy cattle, since the hides of mangy cattle are tough. Still others because the Megarians, with whom he[5] is making a treaty, have mangy bodies. But better to say that [sc. there is] a place called Leproi outside the [Athenian] town-center where the tanners' shops were. There is also a mention of this in
Birds: "why then do you settle [in] Helian Lepreon."[6]
Also [sc. attested is the the verb] "I supervise markets" [
a)goranomw=]; [used] with a genitive.

Headword:
Agorasai
Adler number: alpha,304
Translated headword: to buy at market
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Hyperides [sc. uses this] to mean to purchase.[1]
They say
a)gora/sw,
a)gorw= being sub-literate;[2] there are plenty of examples everywhere, but take for instance [one] of
Aristophanes, from
Aiolosikon: "but hurry, there was no need to wait, since I will buy everything that you ask for all at once, madam".[3] Also [sc. attested are]
agorasmata, the things that have been bought.[4]
Greek Original:Agorasai: Huperidês to ônêsasthai. Agorasô legousi, to d' agorô barbaron: paradeigmatôn de mesta panta, eilêphthô d' homôs Aristophanous ex Aiolosikônos: all' anuson: ou mellein echrên, hôs agorasô hapaxapanth' hosa keleueis, ô gunai. kai Agorasmata auta ta êgorasmena.

Hyperides fr. 70 Jensen for this aorist infinitive of
a)gora/zw (cf.
alpha 300); See also
a)gora/zei in
For Lykophron 2.
[2] At issue here are two forms of the 1st person singular, future indicative active. The former (for which cf.

Headword:
Agoraian
dikên
Adler number: alpha,307
Translated headword: agora lawsuit, forensic lawsuit
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] the (?)defense plea.
Greek Original:Agoraian dikên: tên dikaiologian.
Notes:
An opaque entry, and made the more so because it appears in other 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 certain, therefore, is that
a)gorai/an (accusative singular) is quoted from somewhere.
The glossing term
dikaiologia can mean either a defense plea or a forensic speech of any kind: see LSJ s.v.
