Notes
- No equivalent entry in other lexica. This form of the verb, its aorist passive infinitive, must be quoted from somewhere. Its only two instances, elsewhere, are in the rhetorical writings of the emperor Julian: To Heraclius the Cynic on How to Be a Cynic and Whether It Is Proper for a Cynic to Make up Tales 19, and Symposium 13.
