omicron 283.
[1] Abridged from Harpokration (and
Photius) s.v., commenting on
Hyperides,
Against Athenogenes 21.
[2] Like Harpokration (see n.1) the Suda passes from
o(mo/se to
o(mou= but deals with it differently (cf.
omicron 283). The quotation here, illustrating both of these adverbs in the same sentence, is unidentifiable.
