Translation
Instead of proskale/sasqai ..
Greek original · Adler’s text
Προσκαλέσαι· ἀντὶ τοῦ προσκαλέσασθαι.
Betacode
*proskale/sai: a)nti\ tou= proskale/sasqai.
Notes
- Same entry in Photius (pi1339 Theodoridis). Its point is that the active voice of
proskale/w can be used in the sense of the middle. The headword (presumably quoted from somewhere) and the gloss are aorist infinitives, active and middle respectively.
For this verb, see also pi 2715, pi 2722, and esp. pi 2734.
