Translation
Dinarchus used [this word] instead of o)/xhma ["carriage"]. But the same [writer] also used it to mean [a horse] designated for breeding [o)xei/a ]. For he says: "they are buying, of my horses, a stallion".1 Lycurgus in the [speech] On Financial Administration says "neighbors of the ocheion".2 And perhaps some took this expression to refer to the place in which horse-breeding takes place or carriages are for hire.

Ὀχεῖον· ἀντὶ μὲν τοῦ ὄχημα Δείναρχος ἐχρήσατο. ἐχρήσατο δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰς ὀχείαν ἀποδεδειγμένον. φησὶ γάρ· ὠνοῦνταί μου τῶν ἵππων ὀχεῖον. Λυκοῦργος δὲ ἐν τῷ Περὶ διοικήσεως γείτονας τοῦ ὀχείου φησί. καὶ μήποτε ἐπὶ τούτου τινὲς ἔλαβον τὴν λέξιν, ἐν ᾧ ὀχεῖαι γίνονται κτηνῶν ἢ ὀχήματα μισθοῦνται.

- Abridged from Harpokration (and Photius) s.v.
- 1Dinarchus fr. LXXI.3 Conomis -- for both passages: Harpok. shows that both are from the same speech. (In the second, the direct quotation, shifts from omicron to omega have occurred since Harpok. Read: "they are buying my horse, a stallion".) For the noun
o)xei/a , see omicron 1039; foro)/xhma , see omicron 1043. ↩ - 2Lycurgus fr. 26 Conomis. ↩
