Notes
- cf. generally alpha 501. This rare verb occurs with the genitive in a fragment of Bion quoted by Plutarch:
pw=s ou)=n su\ pe/nhs w)\n fluarei=s tosau=ta kai\ katadolesxei=s h(mw=n; "How then do you, poor as you are, talk so much nonsense and weary us with your chatter?" (reply to Theognis' assertion that poor people are unable to speak).
