[1]
Hesychius s.v. records this verb with the meaning of
u(fora=sqai and
fobei=sqai. Harpocration s.v.
duswpou=mai (see
delta 1676) records the correspondence between
duswpei=sqai and
fobei=sqai.

Iamblichus,
Babyloniaca fr. 22 Habrich; or
Aelian fr. 185c Domingo-Forasté.
[3] This definition refers to
duswpei=n, the intransitive form in the active, but it does not seem entirely exact in its formulation, because the example that follows rather refers to the act of seeing than to the organs of sight (see also Lucian,
Lexiphanes 4). Moreover, in Luc.
Lex. 4 the cause of the problem is not the sunlight but an ophthalmic infection.
[4] Quotation unidentifiable.
[5] We can agree that the authors using
duswpei=sqai as
ai)dei=sqai (meaning to be ashamed) are mainly not Attic writers: Chariton,
Heliodorus,
Polybius,
Philo,
Plutarch,
Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Dio Chrysostom, the emperor Julian,
Libanius (see Francisco Adrados, 2002 s.v.)
[6] This definition refers to the active form,
duswpei=n; cf.
delta 1677.
