I asked AI when the first same language dictionaries of greek, latin, hebrew and arabic were published. The following is the reply:
The first same-language dictionaries for Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic were published at different times in history:
1. **Greek**: The first Greek dictionary is often attributed to the works of **Apollonius Dyscolus** in the 2nd century AD, but it was not a comprehensive dictionary as we know today. The first complete Greek dictionary is considered to be **"Etymologicum Magnum,"** compiled in the late Byzantine period (around the 10th century).
2. **Latin**: The first Latin dictionary is often associated with **"Glossae"** (glossaries) that appeared in the early medieval period. However, a significant early Latin dictionary is **"De Etymologiae"** by **Isidore of Seville** in the 7th century. The first comprehensive Latin dictionary, akin to modern dictionaries, was **"Dictionarium"** by **Petrus de Vinea** in the 13th century.
3. **Hebrew**: The first comprehensive Hebrew dictionary is credited to **Rabbi David Kimhi** (also known as Radak), who wrote **"Sefer ha-Shorashim"** in the 12th century, focusing on Hebrew roots. However, earlier works like **"Mikhlol"** by **Moses ibn Ezra** in the 11th century also contributed to Hebrew lexicography.
4. **Arabic**: The first comprehensive Arabic dictionary is typically considered to be **"Kitab alAyn"** (The Book of the Eye) by **Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Farahidi**, completed in the 8th century.
This dictionary organized words based on their phonetic root structure.
These dictionaries represent significant milestones in the development of lexicography for their respective languages
