Notes
- The headword is transmitted as an (otherwise-unattested) imperfect, as if from
a)leu/omai . However, it should surely be an aorist,a)leu/ato , froma)le/omai (LSJ entry at web address 1). See ps.-Zonaras s.v., glossing with the aoriste)ce/fugen , and also Hesychius alpha2899, glossing withe)cekli/nen . The source, noted by Latte there, is Homer, Iliad 3.160; see the scholia thereto.
