Greek Original:

Notes:
An entry taken from the Lexicon Ambrosianum (Ambrosianus B12 sup. fol. 80v, but Laurentianus 59,16, fol. 187r has ἠγροικισάμην: ἀγροικῶς εἶπον , “I was boorish: I spoke boorishly”). In Glossarium Cyrilli (Vallicellianus E11 fol.98r and Coislinianus 394 fol.112v) – interpolated, according to Latte, in Hesychius, Lexicon eta94 -- we have ἠγροικισάμην: ἀγροικῶς ἔπραξα , “I was boorish: I behaved boorishly”.
The headword verb is the aorist indicative middle form of ἀγροικίζω (alpha 375). This verb is attested in the present tense, in classical-period writers, only in Plato (Theaetetus 146A), and subsequently in some instances in the Roman period. It occurs in the aorist and perfect tenses, middle and passive voices, starting from the fourth century A.D. This specific form, ἠγροικισάμην , is to be found (outside lexicography) only in Libanius and Choricius.
