Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐλυσάμην· ἀπέδωκα.

Betacode

*)elusa/mhn: a)pe/dwka.

Notes

Same entry in other lexica. The headword is aorist middle of lu/w, first person singular. It must be quoted from somewhere, probably Demosthenes 18.262 (a passage repeated by later rhetoricians); see also 19.169 & 171.
cf. generally epsilon 923, lambda 841, lambda 870.
