Notes:
[1] The headword -- presumably, though not demonstrably, extracted from the quotation given -- is perfect active participle of
oi)da/w or
oi)de/w, neuter nominative/accusative singular; cf.
omicroniota 30,
omicroniota 37,
omega 16,
omega 21. For the meaning cf.
Hesychius omega88.
[2] This material has been claimed for
Damascius,
Life of Isidore (fr. 308 Zintzen, 35 Asmus) but a TLG search shows that it actually comes from
Synesius,
Dio 2 (16-21).
