Headword:
*(omou=
Adler number: omicron,292
Translated headword: close, close at hand
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] near.
Aristophanes [writes]: "so before she is close at hand, be silent so that we may hear her."[1] And
Menander [writes]: "but the matter is close at hand."[2]
But in
Sophocles [sc. it is used] to mean
su/n: "with the gods even a man who is with [
o(mou=] no power might succeed. But I, even divided from those [gods], believe that I will win this glory."[3]
And
Demosthenes [uses]
o(mou= to mean
e)ggu\s in his [speech]
Against Aristogeiton: "all the Athenians are nearly [
o(mou=] twenty thousand [in number]."[4] For there he wishes to show that [the citizens] were nearly twenty thousand, since then they were clearly not [exactly] twenty thousand [in number]. And
Isaeus assigned
o(mou= to time in his
Reply to Dorotheus: "he had nearly [
o(mou=] come into [a situation] of such wretchedness and daring."[5] Also in the
Reply to Kallikrates: "but since he does not order nearly [
o(mou=] all these things."[6] But
Lysias assigned this [word] to location in his
Letter to Metaneira: "since many women and men were lying nearby [
o(mou=]."[7]
Homer also [assigned it] to location, for Patroklos says: "do not lay my bones apart from yours, Achilles, but [lay them] nearby [
o(mou=], just as I was reared in our halls."[8]
And
Aelian [writes]: "but Syphax, being near [
o(mou=] to death, recited iambs from tragedy, as [if] fearing the Macedonian: 'Look, setting up this law for mortals, do not establish your own misery and remorse.'[9] His thread had not yet broken."[10]
And elsewhere: "not being strong enough to give birth she was close [
o(mou=] to breaking."[11]
This [usage] is common amongst Attic writers -- witness e.g.
Menander: "for she was already close [
o(mou=] to giving birth."[12]

For this headword see already
omicron 291. The present entry takes the equivalent one in Harpokration (cited for
Demosthenes and
Menander: see nn. 4 and 12 below) but enlarges it with other material.

Aelian fr. 67a Domingo-Forasté (64 Hercher); cf.
mu 978. The identity of the Macedonian to whom
Aelian refers is unclear. He either incorrectly attributes
Sophocles' quotation to
Euripides or
Agathon, both of whom spent time in the Macedonian court, or refers to a theatrical performance of Alexander the Great, Philip of Macedon or another, unknown, Macedonian.
