Notes (2)
- 1The headword, extracted from the quotation, is third person plural, present indicative, of
o)/zw ; cf. omicron 67, omicron 73, omicron 74. ↩ - 2Aristophanes, Acharnians 196 (web address 1), with 'scholia pleniora'; cf. delta 1168. (The scholiast's second comment is wide of the mark. Dikaiopolis does swear by the Dionysia but is actually speaking of the "sample" thirty-year peace terms brought by Amphitheus the Spartan.) ↩
