*)optani/a: h( a)po/bleyis.
Notes
- The entry is paralleled in ps.-Zonaras (obelized by Tittman); Adler reports the headword in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The word seems to lack other attestation. In a fragment of Matron the parodist (mu 289) quoted by Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 4.134F (4.13 Kaibel) the mock-epic genitive plural
o)ptania/wn seems to relate to roasting (cf. omicron 486) rather than sight.
