Notes (1)
- Same or similar entry in other lexica; references at Photius phi339 Theodoridis. The headword is evidently quoted from somewhere.
For a well-known instance of this verb see ?Aristotle, Athenaion Politeia 21.2, on the reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens; it bears there the precise (original?) sense of 'categorize by tribe'. For the looser sense see also (e.g.) Thucydides 6.18.2. - 1This second glossing verb,
katadokima/zw , is overlooked by LSJ. ↩
