Notes:
See also omicron 519, omicron 520.
[1] The headword is present infinitive of o)rga/w, perhaps (though not necessarily) quoted from somewhere. Same glossing in Photius (omicron436 Theodoridis) and elsewhere, and cf. Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon s.v. o)rga|=.
[2] cf. scholion on Thucydides 4.108.6 (where in fact the participle occurs in the genitive plural, not this nominative); also Etymologicum Magnum 629.49.
[3] cf. Photius, Bibliotheca p.19b 38-42. See already at theta 414. (On Oloros the father of Thucydides, see -- besides that entry -- omicron 197.)
