ἀνδρώδης. [174] 17. Manly, virile. Lat. virilis. Cp. de Demosth. cc. 39, 43, and Quintil. v. 12. 18.
ἀνέδραστος. [232] 4. Unsteady. Lat. instabilis. Used of a period which has no proper base or termination. The opposite of ἑδραῖος (Demetr. p. 277).
ἀνεπιτήδευτος. [84] 3, [212] 13, [260] 14. Unsought, unstudied. Lat. nullo studio delectus, non exquisitus. So ἀνέκλεκτος [84] 3: not picked with care.
ἄνεσις. [210] 5. Loosening. Lat. remissio. Cp. Plato Rep. i. 349 E ἐν τῇ ἐπιτάσει καὶ ἀνέσει τῶν χορδῶν πλεονεκτεῖν, and ἀνίεται [126] 5.
ἀνθηρός. [212] 22 (cp. [208] 26, [232] 25). Florid. Lat. floridus. Fr. fleuri. Cp. Quintil. xii. 10. 58 “namque unum [dicendi genus] subtile, quod ἰσχνόν vocant, alterum grande atque robustum, quod ἁδρόν dicunt, constituunt; tertium alii medium ex duobus, alii floridum (namque id ἀνθηρόν appellant) addiderunt.” ‘Florid’ (like ‘flowery’) has acquired rather a bad sense, whereas the Greek word suggests ‘flower-like,’ ‘full of colour,’ ‘with delicate touches and associations.’
ἀντίθετος. [246] 6. Antithetic (σχηματισμοὶ ... ἀντίθετοι). Cp. Demetr. pp. 266, 267, s.v. ἀντίθεσις.
ἀντιστηριγμός. [164] 6. Resistance, stumbling-block. Lat. impedimentum, obstaculum. Cp. de Demosth. c. 38 ἀνακοπὰς καὶ ἀντιστηριγμοὺς λαμβάνειν καὶ τραχύτητας ἐν ταῖς συμπλοκαῖς τῶν ὀνομάτων ἐπιστυφούσας τὴν ἀκοὴν ἡσυχῇ [ἡ αὐστῆρα ἁρμονία] βούλεται.
ἀντίστροφος. [174] 2, [194] 6, 9, 11, [278] 9. Corresponding, counterpart. Lat. respondens. Frequently used by Dionysius of the second stanza (ἀντιστροφή, [254] 18), sung by the Chorus in its counter-movement. Cp. schol. ad Aristoph. Plut. 253 μεταξὺ τῆς τε στροφῆς καὶ τῆς ἀντιστρόφου: and de Demosth. c. 50 κἄπειτα πάλιν τοῖς αὐτοῖς ῥυθμοῖς καὶ μέτροις ἐπὶ τῶν αὐτῶν στίχων ἢ περίοδων, ἃς ἀντιστρόφους ὀνομάζουσι, χρωμένη.
ἀντιτυπία. [202] 25, [222] 17, [224] 15, [230] 6, 232 6, [244] 25. Repulsion, clashing, dissonance. Lat. conflictio, asperitas. So the adjective ἀντίτυπος in [162] 23, [210] 20, etc. Hesychius, ἀντιτύποις· σκληροῖς.
ἀντονομασία. [70] 19, [102] 18. Pronoun. Lat. pronomen. In [108] 14 ἀντωνυμία is found; and this (the more usual) form should perhaps be read throughout.
