[Meaning] from the roots.¹
Also [attested is] pro/rrizos, meaning altogether. Sophocles [writes]: "Myrtilos having been utterly thrown out [from his chariot]."²
But [the phrase] pro\ r(izw=n [means] from the very root.³

1Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at Photius pi1294 Theodoridis), and cf. a scholion on Homer, Iliad 14.415, where pro/rrizos occurs. The lexica's pro/rrizon must be quoted from somewhere else; there are numerous possibilities. ↩
2Sophocles, Electra 512, with scholion. ↩
3(Addendum lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF.) Bernhardy thought that this should be pro\s r(izw=n; cf. pi 2800. ↩
