Glory/reputation. [Expressed] as a diminutive.
The headword is indeed a (neuter) diminutive of the (feminine) noun
δόξα (for which see Web address 1, and cf.
delta 1362,
delta 1364,
delta 1365).
The same entry occurs in other lexica (
Synagoge delta346,
Photius delta712, ps-
Zonaras 564.1), and the common source may be Aelius
Herodianus,
Partitiones 23.4.
The word
δοξάριον always has a negative nuance, which is either evident from the context (e.g.
Epictetus,
Dissertationes ab Arriano digestae 1.18.22; Marcus Aurelius,
Meditations 4.3.3) or underlined by accompanying adjectives (e.g. Lucian,
Dialogi Mortuorum 26.2:
δύστηνον ; Greg.Nys., In Inscriptiones Psalmorum V p.43 l.6:
δύστηνον ; Greg.Naz., Letters 178.10:
εὐτελές ; idem, Speech 19 [ad Julianum tributorum exaequatorem] 35.1048.26 Migne:
μικρόν ; Basilius Theol., Letters 45.1:
μικρόν ).
