Adler number: alpha,255

Greek Original:*)agkuloxei/lhs kai\ *)agkulo/xeilos: skolio/xeilos, e)pi/qeton tou= a)etou=, e)pikampei=s ta\s xhla\s e)/xwn. e)pi\ de\ *kle/wnos, a)gku/las ta\s xei=ras e)/xwn pro\s to\ kle/ptein kai\ a(rpa/zein.
Notes:
The headword actually presents two words (related to
chi 225) that differ only in having different adjectival endings:
a)gkuloxei/lhs and
a)gkulo/xeilos; LSJ only documents the existence of the former.
[1] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Knights 197 (web address 1 below), where an adjective variously transmitted as
a)gkuloxei/lhs or
a)gkuloxh/lhs ('crooked clawed', from
chi 276) is applied to Cleon (
kappa 1731). The latter is what modern editors rightly print, but note that in late Greek the two words would have been homophones. See LSJ at
a)gkuloxh/lhs (web address 2).
