Betacode
*)optanei=on: to\ mageirei=on.
Notes
- Likewise in other lexica; references at Photius omicron420 Theodoridis.
The spellingo)pta/nion occurs in comedy, buto)ptanei=on would be expected fromo)ptanh/i+on (cited by ps.-Herodian and the Etymologicum Magnum) as well aso)ptaneu/s "one who roasts."
There seems to be no connection with omicron 487 (q.v.).
