See also 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.
