Notes
- The headword is third person singular, imperfect middle-passive, of
ai)wre/w . It must be quoted from somewhere -- perhaps from Plutarch, whose four instances of it are the only ones attested outside the present entry.
cf. alphaiota 264, alphaiota 265, epsilon 1896, epsilon 1898; and note also Hesychius epsilon4608, glossing the adjectivee)ph/ora withkrema/mena .
