Notes
- The headword is third person singular, aorist active optative, of the verb
xhro/w ("I make desolate"). Evidently quoted from somewhere: likewise or similarly glossed in other lexica, and cf. also the scholia to Homer, Iliad 5.642, where a form of the headword appears (web address 1 below).
cf. chi 273.
