[sc. is attested];1 but [present middle subjunctive] o)du/rwmai [is found] in place of future o)dorou=mai.
And Libanius [writes]: "but now the ash in silence I would bewail".2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὀδύρω· Ὀδύρωμαι δὲ ἀντὶ τοῦ ὀδυροῦμαι μέλλοντος. καὶ ὁ Λιβάνιος. νυνὶ δὲ τὴν κόνιν σιγῇ ὀδύρωμαι.

Notes (2)

  1. 1Only in lexica in grammars, in this active voice; the norm is middle o)du/romai (omicron 60). ↩
  2. 2Adler declares the passage unidentifiable, but a TLG search reveals it to be Orations 61.1, which actually has dakru/sw ["I will cry for"]. ↩
