Notes
- cf. generally omicron 726, omicron 730, omicron 732, omicroniota 160. The present headword -- aorist middle participle, masculine nominative singular, of this verb -- probably comes from Polybius: see 1.11.15, 27.16.5, 30.2.1, fr. 187 (at omicron 726); and cf. Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 9.55.2.
