[Used] with a dative. [Meaning he/she/it] answers, manages an affair.[1] Thus Appian the historian [uses this word].[2]

Notes:

[2] The present headword is not extant in Appian (and must therefore be quoted from somewhere else: there are numerous possibilities), but see next note.
[3] Appian, Syriaca 193.
[4] Aristophanes, Thesmophoriazusae 377-8 (web address 1); see also chi 486. What precedes this quotation in the entry is from the scholia to line 377.
