"O dear Oedipus, you [all] have come forth desiring things which are intimate and not unknown to me. For well I know that you are all ill; and, being ill, it is not possible that anyone of you is as sick as I am. For your pain comes upon each one of you alone and to no other; but my spirit grieves for the city and me and you alike."[2]

Notes:
[1] cf. the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 3.174, where
gnwtou/s occurs.
[2]
Sophocles,
Oedipus Tyrannus 58-64 (web address 1 below). These words are spoken by Oedipus himself, and they begin
w)= pai=des oi)ktroi/ ("o piteous children"); so the Suda's
w)= fi/l' *oi)di/pous is doubly unacceptable. Adopt Dobree's conjecture, noted by Adler,
*sofoklh=s *oi)di/podi ("
Sophocles in his
Oedipus").
[3]
Greek Anthology 6.12.1-2 (Julian, prefect of Egypt), a dedication by three brothers. (One of the brothers has caught birds, one beasts, one fish.)
