Notes (3)

  1. 1Aorist infinitive of o)rigna/omai; similarly glossed in other lexica; quoted, as Harpokration (and Photius) s.v. shows, from Antiphon's On Truth (fr. 21 Diels-Kranz). See also sigma 1616. ↩
  2. 2First person plural present of the same verb, also similarly glossed elsewhere; but here the source is unidentifiable. ↩
  3. 3Quotation (and individual) unknown. ↩
