ᾰ̓λλοῖος • (ălloîosm (feminine ᾰ̓λλοίᾱ, neuter ᾰ̓λλοῖον); first/second declension

  1. of another sort or kind; different

  2. of another sort than [with genitive of comparison]
    • c. 385 BCE, Plato, Meno 87c:
      Τὸ δὴ μετὰ τοῦτο, ὡς ἔοικε, δεῖ σκέψασθαι πότερόν ἐστιν ἐπιστήμη ἡ ἀρετὴ ἢ ἀλλοῖον ἐπιστήμης.
      Tò dḕ metà toûto, hōs éoike, deî sképsasthai póterón estin epistḗmē hē aretḕ ḕ alloîon epistḗmēs.
      Then after this, it seems, what we have to consider is whether virtue is knowledge or something other than knowledge.
