Ἀγερωχία: ὑπερηφανία. ὅτι οἱ Σκύθαι εἰσὶν ὑπεροπτικοὶ καὶ λίαν ἀγέρωχοι. παρὰ τὸ ἄγαν αὐχεῖν ἢ παρὰ τὸ ἄγαν γερουχεῖν. Ἀγέρωχος, ἔντιμος, ἀνδρεῖος. Ἀγαθίας: ἵππου ἐπιβὰς εὐηνιωτάτου τε καὶ ἀγερώχου καὶ οἵου οὐκ ἄτακτα ἐξάλλεσθαι καὶ σκιρτᾶν. καὶ αὖθις: ὡς ἂν ἔσοιτο εὐκλεὴς τοῖς μετέπειτα καὶ ἀγέρωχος. ἢ Ἀγέρωχος, ὁ ἀλαζών.
