[1] A garbled verion of Aristophanes, Knights 935-6 (web address 1), with the glossing of the scholia there. The passage actually reads: fqai/hs e)/t' ei)s e)kklhsi/an e)lqw/n, "you might come first into [the] assembly." The verb is aorist optative of fqa/nw (from the athematic aorist e)/fqhn); for this verb see also phi 475 (with analogous glossing), phi 476, phi 478, phi 479, phi 486, phi 487, phi 488.
[2] cf. ps.-Zonaras. This form of the third person singular optative occurs in the compound parafqai/hsi in Homer, Iliad 10.346; cf. Hesychius.
