*klhrouxh/santes.
Notes
- This unglossed headword is aorist active participle, masculine nominative plural, of the verb
klhrouxe/w . It is evidently extracted from somewhere: perhaps Plato, Critias 109C ("Now in other regions other gods had their allotments and ordered affairs") or Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 6.55.2.
