Notes:
This verb, given here first in the present infinitive and then in the first person singular of the present indicative, is very rare: outside lexicography, the only extant attestations are in
Xenophon,
Oeconomicus 3.12 (aorist infinitive) and the
Aelian passage quoted here (present participle, masculine dative singular).
[1]
Aelian fr. 65d Domingo-Forasté (62 Hercher), a story about a wicked sculptor.
