Adler number: alpha,49
Translated headword: unlivable
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [sc. Something] bad [and] annoying, painful.[1]
"He found it an unlivable situation if he could not control the city".[2]

Notes:
[1] Same material in other lexica. The headword -- shown by the glossing to be neuter nominative/accusative singular rather than masculine accusative singular -- is evidently quoted from somewhere. The possibilities are numerous. (Latte on
Hesychius s.v. confidently asserts
Euripides,
Alcestis 242.)
[2] Quotation unidentifiable -- but perhaps from
Plutarch, who has several instances of the idiom
ἀβιώτως ἔχειν .
[3] For this word see also
alpha 50.
