the nominative plural using more vowels than the nominative dual. Demostheneon and Demosthenon. why is *ton Demostheneon* not proparoxytone, like *ton opheon*? And one can say: of this the genitive plural is proparoxytone. but when it is not found, as has been said before ....... Demosthenesi. Only here can synaeresis not occur, since it would coincide with the dative singular, which is absurd, and because the ˉs is in the middle and prevents the synaeresis. But if one were to say, let the ˉs be dropped and let synaeresis occur, this cannot happen. And it is worth investigating, why in the dative plural the iota becomes an ephelcystic ˉn, but in the dative singular it does not; for we do not say, Demosthenein. And one can say, the iota becomes an ephelcystic ˉn when it has a preceding ˉs at delta.499 in potentiality or actuality; in potentiality, such as phoinixin, such as Pelopsin; in actuality, such as lebesin, Aiasin. and with a preceding ˉphˉi, such as: defending with ships- Since therefore in the dative Demosthenei the ˉs does not precede either in potentiality or actuality, for this reason it does not become an ephelcystic ˉn. Deioneus. A proper name. Denaios. long-lived. Desertor. a deserter according to the Latins. Defensio. the vindicatory document. and defensor the vindicator. Demetrios. fruit. (Feminine.) Debeltos. a Thracian city. It is also written Debeltos. Deis. the battle. Deiotetos. of battle. From the fact that in it the wounded are slain. such as: to fight face to face in dread strife. According to Aristarchus. Deia peponthyia. ravaged by war, burnt down, hostile, wretched. Demarchia. when the people rule. And the name of an office. Demeusis. plunder. Demeter. the earth. as if being a kind of earth-mother. delta.500 Demetra. name of a goddess. Demoteles. the public rite, and the public tax. Demothoinia. the people's feast or the sacrifice. Demodestera. more unseemly. †all things done in public for the people.† Delaiste. wretched, pitiful. Delatoriai. the *ordinances of the establishment of the public tax, or the proofs among the Romans,* the accusations. Denadiptra. among the Romans a royal gift †given† to soldiers. Deris. strife. such as: -boundless strife- from daio, to cut and slaughter, whence also daitros the cook; from which comes the noun daïs, battle, barytone. Callimachus: to approaching battle- and by extension of the ˉa to ˉe, deis, and by addition of ˉr, deris. and from deris comes the verb derio, perispomenon and barytone, as konis, konio, and deris, derio. such as: -nor did anyone dare to rush forward to fight over the corpse. and derio, such as: -then Poseidon and Apollo were striving. delta.501 Dephela. a city near Josephus. Deo. the earth, or Demeter. And it differs, as the grammarian says. for the tradition knows the eta with the iota. and without the iota we say that it is from deo, which means to find; for when Demeter was going about in search of her daughter, as a euphemism all were saying deeis instead of heuresis. or because she herself discovered grain according to the idle talk of the Greeks. But if it has the iota, we say that it has come from daio, to cut, by an Ionian change of ˉa to ˉe. For Demeter is earth. And the earth is cut in being plowed. or that she ravaged much land, that is, cut through it, seeking her daughter. or from daio, to burn; for Demeter went about with torches. But the grammarian says that Deo is a diminutive from Demeter, not understanding the formation of such diminutives; for such diminutives wish to preserve the consonant of the syllable of the prototypes, such as Hypsipyle, Hypso; Eidothea, Eido; therefore Demeter ought to be Demo. But Deo is not a diminutive, but from deas. thus by Cretans the barley is called. (Neuter.) Deleterion. a destructive drug. delta.502 Delon. manifest. Demioprata. things the people sell. Demokoinon. the public thing. Demothoina. the people's feast, or the sacrifice. Demomata. the jests. and to be made public
