[Meaning] one who happens upon [someone/something] by chance.
*prostuxh/s: o( kata\ tu/xhn e)ntuxw/n.
=
Photius pi1371 Theodoridis; cf.
Moeris the Atticist pi61 and
Timaeus (
Platonic Lexicon 1001a24), who use similar language for an occurrence of the headword in
Plato:
prostuxh\s e)geno/mhn a)nti\ tou= e)ne/tuxon *pla/twn "
Plato [writes]
prostuxh\s e)geno/mhn ['I became acquainted with'] instead of
e)ne/tuxon ['I happened upon']." Theodoridis endorses Naber's opinion that this relates to
Plato,
Politicus 264C, and so it might, but see also
Laws 900A and 954D (where the verb meaning 'became' is
ge/nhtai (aorist subjunctive) rather than
e)geno/mhn (aorist indicative)).
