Ken,
While there is not an analytical lexicon for Thucydides, there are at
least two lexica devoted to his work. One is a two volume Lexicon, first
done in 1843 and reprinted as recently as 1961. The other work will be
most helpful since it's a Greek and English, but it's quite scarce. OCLC
shows 24 libraries as holding copies.
Here's the bibliographical info:
