Notes:
[1] The headword is present imperative, second person singular, of
sao/w. In the second quotation,
sa/oi is third person singular present optative. (See
sw/|zw in LSJ.) The headword itself is perhaps, though not demonstrably, drawn from the first quotation; other options begin with one in the
Homeric Hymns.
