[1] A light abridgement -- the original has 'to this road' -- of Xenophon, Anabasis 4.2.2 (web address 1). The quotation has the optative, like the headword, while the glossing phrase as transmitted uses a present infinitive. The editio princeps of Demetrius Chalcocondyles emended the gloss to threi=en; Aemilius Portus preferred throi=en.
