Notes
- = Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 986b.3-4. The headword (aorist middle participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb
e)phluga/zw ) appears in Plato, Lysis 207b (web address 1), although most mss of Plato (and hence most modern editions) have the orthographic alternativee)phlugisa/menos .
The word is glossed here with active participles, though in the context of the Platonic passage it is better construed with a middle sense. Scholia and other commentary deriving from the Platonic passage gloss the word differently, but not incompatibly: e.g. Hesychius epsilon4551; Photius, Lexicon eta132; Etymologicum Magnum 356.56.
The headword also appears in quotations in epsilon 2171 and epsilon 1612.
