Notes (1)
- Same entry (minus the grammatical gloss) in other lexica. The headword is the aorist participle, masculine nominative singular, of↩
dwrodoke/w (cf. generally delta 1468, delta 1469). It must be quoted from somewhere; there are several possibilities.- 1LSJ s.v. notes two usages of this verb with the accusative case: of money etc. accepted as a bribe, and to corrupt someone by bribery.
