Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius pi933 Theodoridis. The headword is aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular, of
pleisthria/zw. It must be extracted from somewhere (not any of the quotations given here, which have other forms), but is not independently attested.
[2] Quotation -- with the present participle of this verb -- unidentifiable. (Adler suggested
Aelian. She also noted Bernhardy's suggestion that
e)poi/ei 'was doing' ought to be
e)pw/lei 'was selling'.)
[3] Abridged from Harpokration s.v.
Lysias = fr. 15 Sauppe (and Carey OCT);
Plato = fr. 18 Kock (and K.-A.).
[4] So too in
Photius pi935 Theodoridis (on this unrelated verb).
