[Meaning] I blunt.
*)apomuri/zw: a)postomi/zw.
The headword verb is attested with this meaning in Nicetas of
Paphlagonia (561c) and in
Theodorus Studites (PG 99.1664 b,c); it refers there to the custom of wiping a fragrant liquid off the relics of a saint to use it for healing purposes. See also Constantine Porphyrogenitus,
De contionibus militaribus 8.28 (aorist participle).
In this instance, however,
a)pomuri/zw is most probably a scribal error or other orthographical corruption of
a)pomuouri/zw, which is itself a common, though incorrect, form of
a)pomeiouri/zw, "I dull the edge"; cf. E.A. Socrates,
Greek Lexicon of the Roman and Byzantine Periods.
