αὐτόχειρ [page 94]
αὐτόχειρ is warranted in literature : we have not noticed it in our sources, except Vettius Valens. He uses it absolutely, p. 126 .21 , = suicides, and so 127 .19 : it may have the same sense p. 39 .83 .

"the very doer or author of" a thing, id=Soph. , Dem. absol., like αὐθέντης, "one who kills himself or one of his kin", Soph. : then, simply, "a murderer, homicide", id=Soph. , Dem. ; in full, τὸν αὐτ. τοῦ φόνου "the perpetrator of . ." , Soph. as adj.
