Notes:
[1] Same glossing in other lexica. The headword participle, masculine accusative singular, must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotations given below) -- probably
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 6.234A (6.24 Kaibel) [= part of
Posidonius fr. 402 Theiler], on Gylippos (
gamma 477) doing this after his conviction for embezzlement by the ephors.

lambda 824.
[3] cf.
