Προμηθεῖσθαι

Notes (1)

1. The headword is the present middle/passive infinitive of the verb promhqe/omai, I am mindful, take care of beforehand; cf. pi 2505, pi 2507, and see generally LSJ s.v. The entry is probably transposed, in the immediate sense, from prior lexicography, but see further, next note.
1. 1The first gloss is the same form as the headword, but from the verb probouleu/w, I deliberate beforehand, contrive; cf. pi 2349 and see generally LSJ s.v. [In her critical apparatus Adler reports that mss AF transmit probouleu/sasqai, the aorist middle infinitive: to have contrived beforehand.] The second gloss is again the same form as the headword, but from the contract verb pronoe/w, I foresee, perceive beforehand; see generally LSJ s.v. The headword is identically glossed in the Synagoge, Photius' Lexicon (pi1261 Theodoridis), and Lexica Segueriana 349.21; cf. Anecdota Graeca (Cramer) 2.483.5, Lexicon in orationes Gregorii Nazianzeni at pi183.19, and Erotian 109.11 (Klein). Theodoridis on Photius suggests that the headword might be quoted from tragedy: a variant reading for proqumei=sqai at (?)Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 381, is promhqei=sqai, which the scholia there gloss with pronoei=sqai. ↩
