An Illustrated Dictionary to Xenophon's Anabasis: With Groups of Words Etymologically Related (Classic Reprint) by John Williams White (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from An Illustrated Dictionary to Xephon's Anabasis: With Groups of Words Etymologically Related This Dictionary has t been compiled from other vocabularies and lexicons, but has been made from the Anabasis itself, on the basis of an independent collection and examination of all the places where each word occurs. The editors have aimed to give all words found in the principal editions of the Anabasis w in use, including Dindorf's fourth edition and Hug's recension of the Teubner text, as well as the editions of Kruger, Vollbrecht, Relidantz and Cobet, and Goodwin and White's edition of the first four books. In the definitions, they have intended to give all the meanings that each word has in the Anabasis, beginning, when possible, with the etymological meaning, and passing through the simpler variations to the more remote. Each meaning or group of meanings is supported by at least one citation. The number of citations given, except in the case of conjunctions, particles, prouns, and prepositions, is determined by the importance of the word as shown by the frequency of its occurrence in the Anabasis. Under each word the first passage in which it occurs is always cited. When but one citation is made for a word, that word is found only once in the Anabasis. In treating of the derivation of words, special attention has been given to their connexion with one ather and with related words in Latin and English.
