δ510ΔιαβούλομαιI thoroughly wish… (and ps.-Zonaras). However, the headword verb does not occur in Thucydides -- as first noted by F.L. Abresch (1699-1782) -- and is in fact unattested anywhere outside lexicography; it is also missing from LSJ. …Matched in noteshighshort

δ625Διαλέγουσανenlarging, picking open… (aorist active infinitives). [4] Adler notes Dindorf's view that this 'Thucydides' refers to another gloss, and certainly it cannot relate to diale/gou; but epsilon 77 may provide the link.Matched in noteshighshort
