Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius upsilon153 Theodoridis. The headword -- first person plural of the second aorist of
u(fi/sthmi -- is probably quoted from Homer, Iliad 5.715; cf. the D scholia there.
For this verb see also upsilon 583, upsilon 584, upsilon 586, upsilon 593, upsilon 594, upsilon 735, upsilon 736.
