Notes
- Likewise in Hesychius and elsewhere. The headword -- pluperfect, third person singular, of
ghqe/w (gamma 231) -- must be quoted from somewhere; perhaps (?)Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 157, though there are post-classical possibilities. (For one of them see under pi 631.)
The perfect of this verb is used with a present sense: see LSJ s.v. and cf. gamma 91.
