Notes
- The headword is aorist active infinitive of
a)tuxe/w . It is glossed likewise in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; thus it probably comes from Plato (4 instances), though there are other possibilities.
cf. the use ofa)potugxa/nw as 'fail to hit', alpha 3591 and cross-references.
