Photius,
Lexicon alpha1747 + alpha1756 Theodoridis.
[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica, including
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon. The headword adjective, as the second gloss shows, is masculine/feminine accusative plural. Apparently, it purports to be quoted from
Plato's
Alcibiades 1, but in fact the phrase from there is
mis-quoted (here and in several of the paroemiographers); cf. note below. (
Plato,
Phaedrus 258E, has the corresponding
nominative plural.) Either, therefore, the misquotation was entrenched early enough to generate this glossing or else accusative
a)ndrapodw/deis is extracted from somewhere else -- such as
Xenophon,
Memorabilia 1.1.16 or 4.2.22.
[2] Meaning in practice crudely close-cropped; cf.
alpha 2157.
[3]
Diogenianus 1.73.
[4] Imperfectly quoted from
Plato,
Alcibiades 1.120B (web address 1 below).
