Notes

Same or similar entry in other lexica (references at Photius pi1187 Theodoridis); and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 1.113, from where the headword is quoted (Agamemnon prefers Chryseis to Clytemnestra: web address 1).
This is an isolated perfect tense form; the present *probou/lomai does not occur.
