Ἀναιρεθείς· ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀναληφθείς. οὕτως Ἰσοκράτης. καὶ Ἀναιρεῖν, τὸ ἐν γαστρὶ συλλαβεῖν, καὶ τὸ τεχθὲν ἀνατρέφειν, καὶ τὸ φονεῦσαι, καὶ τὸ ἀναλαβεῖν. ὁ δὲ καθεὶς τὴν χεῖρα εἰς τὴν πήραν ἀναιρεῖται τὴν ἐπιστολήν. καὶ ἔτι τὸ ἀπολλύναι, καὶ τὸ αἴρειν ἢ προσενέγκασθαι. καὶ Ἀναίρεσις, ἡ ἀνάληψις. ὁ δὲ τὴν πανοπλίαν ἔρριψεν εἰς ἀναίρεσιν τῷ βουλομένῳ. καὶ Ἀναιρεῖται, λαμβάνει. ὁ δὲ ἀναιρεῖται τὸ μεῖζον μέρος τοῦ κρεαδίου. καὶ Ἀναιρεῖσθαι, ἀναδέχεσθαι, ἀναλαμβάνειν. τῷ Σκιπίωνι ἦν τὰ διωμολογημένα πρὸς Καρχηδονίους, ὁμήρους σφᾶς δοῦναι καὶ τοὺς ἐλέφαντας καὶ τὰς τριήρεις καὶ μήτε καταλόγους ποιεῖσθαι μήτε μισθοφόροις χρῆσθαι μήτε πόλεμον πρὸς μηδένα παρὰ τὴν τῶν Ῥωμαίων γνώμην ἀναιρεῖσθαι. καὶ αὖθις· οὐ τὴν τυχοῦσαν πρόνοιαν ἐποιοῦντο Ῥωμαῖοι τοῦ μὴ κατάρχοντες φαίνεσθαι μήδ' ἀναιρούμενοι τοὺς πολέμους. καὶ Ἡρόδοτος Ἀναιρεόμενον ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐν γαστρὶ συλλαμβανόμενον. καὶ Ἀναιρούμενοι, ἀναλαμβανόμενοι, ἐπιχειροῦντες.
