  1. 1See under tau 588. ↩
  2. 2This present middle/passive participle -- the headword itself is aorist passive -- also appears in other lexica, with these same glosses (for which cf. generally beta 137, sigma 1191). Most of its attestations are in medical writers, but this particular instance must be quoted from a different kind of context. ↩
