Timaeus,
Platonic Lexicon 986b.3-4. The headword (aorist middle participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb
e)phluga/zw) appears in
Plato,
Lysis 207b (web address 1), although most mss of
Plato (and hence most modern editions) have the orthographic alternative
e)phlugisa/menos.
The word is glossed here with active participles, though in the context of the Platonic passage it is better construed with a middle sense.
Scholia and other commentary deriving from the Platonic passage gloss the word differently, but not incompatibly: e.g.
Hesychius epsilon4551;
Photius,
Lexicon eta132;
Etymologicum Magnum 356.56.
The headword also appears in quotations in
epsilon 2171 and
epsilon 1612.
