Notes
- Likewise in other lexica. The headword is the present middle participle of
xra/w , in the masculine dative singular (not reflected in translation here). It must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities begin with Thucydides 1.126.4, on Kylon (kappa 2673, pi 1179) at Delphi.
cf. chi 547.
