Meaning ready.1 Also [sc. attested is] "able to" [oi(=o/s te ],2 meaning ready to. And "he was able" [oi(=os h)=n ], meaning "he was ready". It is also used with the meaning "he was eager". Lysias [writes]: "for he was forcing his way and able to find the door".3 It means also the correlative: "this sort of man [toiou=tos ], what sort [oi(=os ] his father was".4
