Notes (1)
- The headword is a form of the present active infinitive of
proe/xw , spelled with crasis; the gloss is the same form without crasis. Same entry in Lexica Segueriana 353.7 and in Photius pi1416 Theodoridis, similar one already in Hesychius pi4050 s.v.prou)/xei ). Theodoridis cites four instances in Thucydides, favouring (for some unspecified reason) 1.25.4. - 2Sophocles, Philoctetes 136-8 (a choral lyric passage with Doric dialect forms: web address 1). For
te/xnas e(te/ras here as genitive singular (rather than accusative plural) see LSJ s.v.pro/exw , B.II.3. ↩
