[1] Likewise in other lexica; references at
Photius omicron523. The headword -- present indicative active, third person singular, of this verb -- must be quoted from somewhere.
[2] The manuscripts here read
o(/ros 'boundary' but the
editio princeps of
Demetrius Chalcocondyles (1499) corrected it to
o)/rros.
[3] The manuscripts read
fobei=sqai 'to fear', which the
editio princeps corrected to
o)rrwdei=n.
[4] From a scholion on
Aristophanes,
Plutus [
Wealth] 122, where
o)rrwdw= occurs; cf. scholion on
Knights 126, where
o)rrwdw=n occurs.
