*(omhrei/a: h( a)ntipro/soyis.

Notes

cf. generally omicron 244, omicron 245. In the present entry the headword o(mhrei/a appears to be used in sense 2 of LSJ s.v. (see web address 1). As regards the (very rare) glossing word, variously a)ntipro/soyis and a)ntiprosw/yis, 'appearing instead' is LSJ's translation, but one is not much enlightened.
