There are several instances of the headword in
Plato (
Symposium 190E,
Republic 470A,
Politicus 276D), and see also e.g.
Aristotle,
De anima 412b28 (the strange, but somehow elucidating, comparison of the actuality of wakefulness to
the cutting of an axe).
[1] The gloss is an articular substantivization (Smyth, ยง1153) of the adjective
tomo/s, -h/, -o/n (
cutting, sharp); see LSJ s.v.
