Notes:
From
Photius,
Lexicon omicron556 Theodoridis. The word picked out to serve as headword is aorist passive infinitive of
o(sio/w. (On the opposition between
o(/sios and
i(ero/s, see LSJ s.v.; also
omicron 687, and cf.
omicron 688.)
Theodoridis notes (without positively endorsing) Dindorf's suggestion that the entry stems from
Xenophon,
Hellenica 3.3.1 on the aftermath of the death of King
Agis of
Sparta in c.400 BCE:
e)pei\ de\ w(siw/qhsan ai( h(me/rai, ktl.
