Παραβαλέσθαι

Notes (3)

1. The headword (again pi 271, pi 272) is the aorist middle infinitive of the verb paraba/llw, I throw beside; see generally LSJ s.v. In the middle voice, however, the connotation often gains considerable personal force as evinced in the gloss: e.g., to have staked what is in my personal interest upon a chance. See also omicron 284.
1. 1The articular infinitive of the gloss, from the verb e)capata/w, I beguile utterly, is aorist active; see generally LSJ s.v. The headword is similarly glossed in Photius, Lexicon pi192 Theodoridis (s.v. paraba/llesqai); cf. Hesychius s.v paraballo/menai. ↩
