Notes:
[1] The verb is attested as
mu/zw and also as a contract verb,
muza/w or (as would be required here)
muze/w; cf.
mu 1384. In the present context, nevertheless, other lexica (references at
Photius mu574 Theodoridis) have only the
mu/zei version of this headword, evidently quoted from somewhere.
