Notes (2)
- The headword, perhaps extracted from somewhere but unattested outside lexicography, appears to be the present active infinitive of a verb
o)rekte/w , equivalent in meaning to the middle voice ofo)re/gw , I stretch out (for); see LSJ s.v. - 1This gloss is the present active infinitive of the contract verb
e)piqume/w , I set my heart upon; see LSJ s.v. The headword is identically glossed in Hesychius omicron1142, the Synagoge, Lexica Segueriana 320.4, and Photius' Lexicon (omicron452 Theodoridis); cf. De Stefani, p. 64. ↩ - 2This supplementary item similarly appears in the Synagoge, Lexica Segueriana and Photius locc.citt. The late infinitive form cited here is the present active infinitive of the contract verb
o)rektia/w (=o)re/gomai ; cf. Sophocles, p. 815). If it is not simply paradigmatic, it might be extracted from Cyril of Alexandria, who has 2 instances (e.g. Commentary on John 2.564.28). ↩
