Lexica Segueriana (Bekker) 121.30 (= alpha25 Petrova). This form of the verb (present indicative active first person singular) is unattested outside lexicography and grammars, and is probably a generic lexical reference. In general the verb appears far more frequently in the middle and aorist passive (usually with middle sense). The active and middle forms of this verb do not govern the genitive case in classical usage, although there is one example of the aorist passive doing so in
Plato Parmenides 135E, which may be the ultimate inspiration for this comment (as it probably also is for
Libanius (
Epistles 826.2, 1156.1, and 1279.1) and other later authors). In Byzantine Greek one occasionally finds the middle voice governing the genitive; e.g. Macrembolites
Hysmine and Hysminias 11.23. For the LSJ entry, which cites
Aeschylus and
Sophocles for the accusative, see web address 1 below.
