[Meaning] attention.
*)/opis: h( e)pistrofh/.
The headword -- apparently from the same root as
o)/yomai,
o)/pwpa (
omicron 479) -- is used of divine vengeance and (less often) divine favor; also of human respect for the gods. By folk etymology it was connected with
o)/pisqen, as the gloss here suggests (literally "turning about").
Similar glosses in ps.-Herodian, the
Ambrosian Lexicon (according to Adler), ps.-
Zonaras, a scholion on
Homer,
Iliad 16.388 (see web address 1), and
Hesychius s.vv.
o)/pida (omicron999) and
o)/pin (omicron1005).
