user report 12/16/15 I found what appears to be an error in Lewis and Short's Latin Dictionary http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04 0059%3Aentry%3DNabdalsa
where two entries seem to be listed as one:
Nabdalsa -ae m, a Numidian general's name and nabis -is f (or nabun -is) f. a camelopard (giraffe)

Under "contrarius", in section I.B.2.c. Should "on the conirary" be "on the contrary" ? Minor typo, but a typo nonetheless.

I hope this email finds you well, and that you will not mind my writing to you directly after so long. I still use and enjoy the resources you and your colleagues have put together quite a lot. I found a small erratum in the Perseus edition of L&S and I hope I have not overlooked a more appropriate way to report it. In the definition of orca, here: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059%3Aentry%3Dorca1 the Greek etymology is given as ἄρχα, an oblique form of ἀρχή; but obviously this is a scanning or typing error for ὔρχα, which literally means jar. This can be seen (with a little squinting) in the scanned version here: https://archive.org/stream/LewisAndShortANewLatinDictionary/lewisandshort#page/n1947/mode/2up
I am not sure this is something that can be fixed, but since it is extremely rarely that I find any erratum at all in Perseus I thought I would write to see.
note: the page says ἄρχα https://archive.org/stream/LewisAndShortANewLatinDictionary/lewisandshort#page/n1289/mode/2up need to indicate correction with correct tags

Hello,
I found typos in the Lewis-Short Latin dictionary. All occurrences of the Greek letter δ (Delta) are digitised as σ (Sigma) in the entry of 'autem' (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059%3Aentry%3Dautem). I suspect this may be an overall digitising fault.
fixed all

A couple of suggested edits to the Lewis and Short entry for “apud” 5:
EDIT 1: Socraiem is a typo; read Socratem
EDIT 2: And the source of the cited passage, “Socraiem illum, qui est in Phaedro Platonis,” is Cic. de Or. (1.28; maybe that is Cic. de Or. 1, 7, 28 in some text numbering systems). The punctuation in the excerpted entry (and elsewhere in this dictionary entry) seems, to me, to make the attribution of passage to source unclear, on first reading. Maybe replace the colons with semicolons? Like this:
confirmed. fixed typo; stet on formatting as this runs throughout this work
