Notes
- The headword is the present active participle, masculine accusative singular, of the desiderative verb
gelasei/w (see also gamma 107). It occurs in Plato, Phaedo 64B (web address 1 below), and the present entry derives from the scholia there.
Other examples of this desiderative verbal suffix appear at beta 155, gamma 50, delta 1508, pi 1881.
