| | Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon |
 | | The Lexicon of Passow, which the Oxford scholars took as the basis of their work, was itself founded upon that of Johann Gottlob Schneider, the editor of Theophrastus, the first edition of which had appeared in 1797-8. |
 | | At about the date when the project of a Thesaurus Graecus was finally abandoned, a proposal was made by a group of Greek scholars for the preparation of a Lexicon of the Greek language--Ancient, Medieval, and Modern-the publication of which should commence in 1921 as a memorial of the Centenary of Greek independence. |
 | | The Greek Government took the scheme under its patronage, and in November 1908 a Commission was appointed by royal decree, at the head of which was the veteran scholar Kontos, who was succeeded on his death by Hatzidakis. |
