Also, when spaced, it indicates a change of speaker in passages of dialogue. The references given in column one are normally the last possible for each work. This will make clear which system of chapter, paragraph, etc., division, or of pagination, is being followed, where two or more exist. Authors used as secondary sources are printed in lower case. The full form of post-classical or modern collections, anthologies, etc., is given in the Supplementary List (II). The abbreviations for these are usually printed with a lower-case initial (e.g. anth., poet., trag.). In the indication of date Roman numerals refer to centuries.

In 2018, six years after OSEO launched, it was decided that the need for a formal editorial board was no longer required, and instead we retain a number of the board as academic advisors. Alongside Editor-in-Chief Michael F. Suarez, S.J., they continue to ensure the highest editorial standards of scholarship. Liddell & Scott's Greek-English Lexicon is the most comprehensive and up-to-date ancient Greek dictionary in the world. Used by every student of ancient Greek in the English-speaking world, the dictionary covers every surviving ancient Greek author and text discovered up to 1940, from the Pre-Classical Greek of Homer and Hesiod to Classical Greek to the Hellenistic Period, including the Greek Old and New Testaments. This monumental work is now available with a brand new Revised Supplement. Representing the culmination of thirteen years' work, the new Supplement is a complete replacement of the 1968 Supplement. Nearly twice the size of the 1968 edition, with over 20,000 entries, it adds to the dictionary words and forms from papyri and inscriptions discovered between 1940 and the 1990s as well as a host of other revisions, updatings, and corrections to the main dictionary. Linear B forms are shown within entries for the first time, and the Revised Supplement gives the dictionary a date-range from 1200 BC to 600 AD. It is fully cross-referenced to the main text, but additions have been designed to be easily used without constant reference to the main text. Increasing numbers of Oxford University Press’s Greek and Latin editions and translations are now available as part of Oxford Scholarly Editions Online (OSEO). Discover authoritative commentaries and critical editions, including the Oxford Classical Texts series, and read texts and translations of all the major works side by side.

Where assimilation of consonants takes place in a compound word, the more common form, as printed in the editions, is normally used for the lemma. For example, compounds of ad-and p-appear under app-, while compounds of ad-and n-, in which assimilation is not common, appear under adn-.

Michael F. Suarez, S.J., University Professor and Director of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia, was its Editor-in-Chief. When the OLD quotes a text to illustrate the meaning of a word, there’s a link from the text – saving time and flagging unusual senses.
