Notes:
=
Photius,
Lexicon pi1331 Theodoridis (but here slightly expanded); identified by Wentzel and Erbse as coming from Aelius
Dionysius (pi67).
The entry gathers a number of examples of verbs in which the common verbal element
-ex- ('have'/'hold') is replaced by its less common reduplicated by-form
-isx-. The close relationship between these words is difficult to maintain in translation. The example that serves as the headword is a present imperative, second person singular; the other examples come in other forms.
