Aelian [writes]: "when he came to old age, he paid in full the necessity that is common to destiny and met with a fitting funeral."[2]
The [word] "necessity" is a participle, from
xrw=, becoming
xre/w,
xre/on in the neuter. A slight alteration of the accent follows, and with Attic lengthening, the omicron is changed into omega and it is indeclinable. Adverbs [ending] in -
on are written with omicron, except for
xrew/n and
e)mpodw/n ("in the way").[3]
