[Meaning he] who will state[1] the oracles. [Used] in
Epicharmus.[2] He has said [this] to those[3] contrary to the decree; or, as
Asclepiades [writes] in the 6th [book] of
Tragic Subjects,[4] that[5] he has become best at speaking the truth. But another also became [this].

Hesychius reads
r(e/ei "flows";
Photius has

a)nairei= "takes up, declares (an oracle)." M. Schmidt suggested
xre/ei "delivers an oracle."

Hesychius reads
