[1]
Thucydides 2.12.5 (web address 1). Imperfect of
dh|o/w, third person plural; cf.
delta 482.
[2] Quotation (which illustrates the kata- compound version of the headword verb:
kappa 526) unidentifiable, but apparently from late imperial historiography.
[3] Aorist of the same verb. Perhaps also from
Thucydides (12 instances), though there are other possibilities.
