Notes:
[1] This primary headword is imperfect, first person singular (rather than third person plural, as the gloss shows), of
o)kne/w, literally 'I shrink (from)', for which see also
omicron 112,
omicron 113,
omicron 116,
omicron 117. It must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities include
Plato,
Republic 453D.
[2] To illustrate the third-person plural usage, part of
xi 48 (a summary narrative of the
Anabasis of
Xenophon) is here quoted.
