Headword:
*)/abaton
Adler number: alpha,23
Translated headword: inaccessible
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning something] sacred, unapproachable, desolate;[1] also an 'inaccessible' road, [meaning] impassable.
Greek Original:*)/abaton: i(ero\n, a)pro/siton, e)/rhmon: kai\ o(do\s a)/batos, h( a)po/reutos.

The headword is the neuter singular form of this adjective, which, as a substantive, can be used for the
adyton of a temple or shrine.
[1] Up to this point the entry =
Synagoge alpha5, and
Photius,
Lexicon alpha31 Theodoridis; cf.
Hesychius alpha91 (where Latte confidently asserts that the headword is quoted from
Euripides,
Bacchae 10).

Notes:
For this headword see already

The
pi 3232 entry on Pyrrhus (the C4/3 BCE king of Epirus: see generally OCD(4) p.1245) comprises a lengthy anecdotal extract on him from the
Roman Antiquities of
Dionysius of Halicarnassus (20.8-9); the present entry paraphrases part of it (20.9.2). The date is 276-275, when Pyrrhus was campaigning for a second time in southern Italy and
Sicily.
[1] Literally, "of all time".
[2] Or "untouched".
[3] Or simply "situated" (
pi 3232).

Headword:
*)agaqh=s
*tu/xhs
new/s
Adler number: alpha,111
Translated headword: temple of Good Fortune
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The interpretation [is] not unclear.
Greek Original:*)agaqh=s *tu/xhs new/s: ou)k a)/dhlon to\ shmaino/menon.
Note:
According to the equivalent entry in Harpokration -- which prompted the present one, without having the present gloss (also in
Photius, Lexicon alpha69 Theodoridis) -- it was mentioned by
Lycurgus (fr. 23 Conomis) "and others"; probably, therefore, it was in
Athens.

Headword:
*)agkw/n
Adler number: alpha,249
Translated headword: elbow
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "In the royal palace of Gelimer was a building full of darkness, which the Carthaginians used to call [the] Elbow; therein were thrown all toward whom the tyrant was ill-disposed. There, in the time of Belisarius, happened to be confined many traders from the east about to be destroyed by the tyrant at that time, whom the guard of the prison released."[1]
"And he placed the siege-engines in the way that seemed most timely, and he hit both the wall-angles [
angkones] and the trenches from both sides."[2]
Also [sc. attested is]
a)gkw=nes, a certain part of the house.[3]
Another meaning of
a)gkw=nes is everything that, in a dream, fixes the well-ordered aspect of life.[4]
*)agkw=nes [are] also the prominences of rivers, the ones at the banks.
"It was not possible to sail through to the stream ahead because of the size of the descending prominences which it was necessary for those dragging the ships to bend round."[5]
Also [sc. attested is]
a)gkw=nes, [in the sense of] the heights of the mountains. "Some of you seek out the [western] heights, and some the eastern, going toward the evil exit of the man."[6]
And [there is] a proverbial expression: wiping one's nose with the elbow.[7]
Bion the philosopher said: "my father was a freed slave, wiping his nose with his elbow;" it indicated clearly the saltfish-importer.[8]
See another proverbial expression, 'sweet bend' [in a river, etc.].[9]

Headword:
*)agnw/neios
Adler number: alpha,285
Translated headword: Hagnoneian, Hagnonian
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The son of [H]agnon.[1]
Also [sc. attested is] [H]agnonides.[2]
Greek Original:*)agnw/neios: o( tou= *)/agnwnos pai=s. kai\ *)agnwni/dhs.
Notes:
[1] An entry seemingly generated by
Thucydides 5.11.1, which records the demolition in 422 BCE of the "Hagnonian buildings" of
Amphipolis, i.e. those buildings associated with its Athenian founder Hagnon, father of Theramenes (
theta 342, etc.). The scholiast to the passage glosses the adjective, there in the neuter plural, as "those of (H)agnon". Here it is nominative singular; but even so it cannot have been an authentic way to refer to Hagnon's son.
[2] Athenian political figure of the third quarter of the C4 BCE, implicated in the "Harpalos Affair" (see generally
alpha 4000).

Translation: A farm tool, with which they collect hay. "Alkimos [dedicated] his toothless rake and a share of a noise-loving shovel bereft of its olivewood handle."[1]

Notes:
Feminine noun, also found in the form
a)gri/fh (
alpha 365).
[1] An approximation of
Greek Anthology 6.297.1-2 (
Phanias), a dedication of agricultural implements to Athena, again (in part) at
phi 116; cf. Gow and Page, vol. I (162-163) and vol. II (470-471); cf. further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 3945 and
kappa 2794. The opening word is a proper name. Here the translation adopts Toup's emendation (cf. Gow and Page, vol. I, 162) and reads
a)/mas [cf.
alpha 1574] for the Suda's
a(/ma; cf.
phi 116. The verb is supplied in translation here from line 6.
