On land, dry. The Pisidian [writes]: "having traversed this route of exile, O most powerful one, like a road on land "[1]
[sc. Another illustration of] ἐγγειον : "he allotted the territory, giving to each a talent as his share, supposing that the city's affairs would stand firm, if the men were attached to their landed properties."[2]
Some [say that this word applies] to that which is nearer [ἐγγύς ].[3] But the orators do not use it this way; rather, when they wish to indicate what is on land. For example Demosthenes in the [speech] Against Apatourios [writes]: "since I do not have with this man any contract for business by sea or land ..."[4] And Lysias [writes]: "since the law bids the guardians to keep the property for orphans in land, but this man declares that we are sailors [...]."[5]
But ἔγγιον with iota [means] nearer [ἐγγύτερον ].[6]
