[1] Likewise in Photius (upsilon35 Theodoridis), from Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The headword -- second person singular, present indicative active, of the verb u(hne/w -- is quoted from Plato, Theaetetus 166C (web address 1); the glossing is from the corresponding scholia. (See also Etymologicum Magnum s.v.) Reportedly the verb also occurs as suhnei=n, in Pherecrates: see sigma 1318.
[2] From Plato, Laws 819D (web address 2); see under upsilon 77 and upsilon 81.
