Notes
- For this verb see already delta 323.
Similar entry in other lexica, and cf. also the scholia to Homer, Iliad 7.337, where the headword occurs -- but NB: it should be spelleddei/momen (a short-vowel aorist subjunctive). Additionally, the Suda would have done better to follow Hesychius and the scholiast in glossing withoi)kodomh/swmen oroi)kodomh/somen .
