Greek Original:

Notes:
cf. generally epsilon 242.
[1] LSJ s.v. describes the use with accusative as 'later', and indeed this Suda entry itself illustrates others.
[2] cf. Artemidorus 1.66: to\ me\n ga\r diyh=n ou)de\n a)/llo e)sti\n h)\ e)piqumei=n.
[3] Quotation (the final five words of which are also in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras) unidentifiable.
[4] cf. pei=na "hunger" at pi 1445.
[5] (Addendum lacking, Adler reports, in mss GTT, and a marginal addition in AI.) Not, in fact, a phrase extant in the works of Demosthenes (delta 454) but, as Adler noted, one from Libanius (lambda 486): his second Declamation (On the Silence of Socrates; cf. sigma 829). (Adler's note uses the phrase *Dhmosqe/nhs o( mikro/s, "Demosthenes the second". It does not actually occur in this entry, as can be seen from the translation above, but some other lexica do use it, when referencing either this speech of Libanius or others.)
