Also [sc. attested is the phrase] "scepter of oaths", by which kings used to swear; or "rod".[1]
"I make you swear" and "I cause you to swear".[2]

The unglossed headword phrase -- for which Adler cites the unpublished
Ambrosian Lexicon (470) -- is not attested in this precise grammatical form elsewhere, but for other forms which might have generated it see e.g.
Sophocles,
Philoctetes 1324;
Euripides,
Hippolytus 1025;
Pausanias 5.24.9 (a Zeus with this epithet at
Olympia);
Philostratus,
Life of Apollonius of Tyana 1.6 (a 'water of Zeus of Oaths', apparently a carbonated spring, at
Tyana).
[1] The entry up to this point is equivalent to a separate entry in
Synagoge omicron223 and
Photius,
Lexicon omicron486 Theodoridis, with "scepter of oaths" as the headword phrase.
[2] This material (for which Adler cites the
Lexicon Syntacticum of Codex Laurentianus 59.16) appears designed to illustrate that two verbs related to the adjective
o(/rkios ('of/relating to oaths') are construed with the accusative case. It is omitted from some manuscripts and appears in the margin of others. In ms S it is placed after
omicron 594.
