*)/agoi
Adler number: alpha,381
Translated headword: may hold
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [sc. This verb] signifies many things.
Isaeus used [it] to mean to carry and to lead in and to drag: "for
Xenocles hurt me", he says, "by taking Eumathes off into freedom, when I was leading [him] into slavery."[1] But Antiphon adopted
a)/goi to mean considered/held: for he says in the
On Truth "may [he] hold the laws great."[2]

Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration s.v. The headword is present optative, third person singular, of the verb
a)/gw, presumably quoted from Antiphon (see below); but other material intervenes.
