Bibliographic sources of Greek Instant Details?

[dfish@occ.edu]

I have searched through the forums for the answer to this question, but cannot find anything. I had a student ask me the bibliographic source for English glosses of Greek words.

 

He was looking at the lexeme ἄτοπος specifically in Luke 23:41 where one of the thieves on the cross says (of Jesus): οὗτος δὲ οὐδὲν  ⸀ἄτοπον ἔπραξεν.

 

When hovering over the word he found the following glosses:

out of place, untrodden, odd; paradoxical, absurd

 

He was struck by the gloss paradoxical, but couldn't find any lexicon with that rendering (either in his library, or in our college's library).

 

I did a search of all of my lexicons in Accordance for the English term paradoxical, and I couldn't find anything referring to the Greek word ἄτοπος.

 

Can someone help me?

@dfish@occ.edu: Hmmm... that is a good question. Dan found "paradoxical" in LSJ, but that isn't where the glosses are coming from. I have quite a few of the Greek lexicons in Accordance, and it's not getting the glosses from any of the usual suspects: UBS, Newman, Mounce...

[Λύχνις Δαν]

Accordance has its own set of glosses in a file somewhere - this has come up before if I recall correctly. I don't know how they were originally derived.
