Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. (The final participle in the glossing phrase is, variously, this genitive plural
e)klegome/nwn or
e)klelegme/non.) The headword, an adverbial form of
e)qelo/kakos, must be quoted from somewhere -- perhaps (though not necessarily) the first passage which follows here; cf. generally
epsilon 302,
epsilon 303.
[2] Appian,
Italica 7.
[3] Once attributed to
Menander Protector (fr.68 FHG, 4.269) and connected with
alphaiota 322; Blockley, however, does not accept the present passage as an authentic fragment of
Menander. For the verb cf.
epsilon 302.
