[Meaning one who was] pirated/robbed.[1] Also [sc. attested is the related term] lĂȘistikon ["piratical"], a brigade and a mob; but lĂȘistrikon [is] a possession.[2]

[1] The headword is aorist passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of the same verb as
lambda 424. Same glossing in
Photius lambda244 Theodoridis. The earliest known instance of an aorist passive participle is the
feminine accusative singular
lhi+sqei=san in Apollonius Rhodius,
Argonautica 4.400; the masculine form which has generated the
Photius/Suda entry is also to be seen in
Hesychius lambda830 (
lhi+sqe/ntos glossed
klape/ntos, a)faireqe/ntos).
[2] This distinction, made by Aelius
Dionysius,
*)attika\ o)no/mata s.v.
lh|stiko/n, attempts to give an active sense to
lh|stiko/n "plundering" (e.g. "of pirates") vs.
lh|striko/n "plundered". This is not reflected in how
lh|striko/s was actually used, however: see LSJ s.v. The instance being glossed is
Thucydides 1.4; see the
scholia there. Aelius
Dionysius is cited more closely in
Photius lambda251 Theodoridis; the distinction is also invoked in
lambda 474.
