Notes:
[1] The headword (presumably extracted from the first quotation given) is the second person singular, aorist middle imperative, of
a)pokri/nw; the gloss is the second person singular, aorist passive imperative; both have the same substantive meaning.
[2]
Demosthenes 19.120 (web address 1); see again below.
[3] i.e. in the future tense middle forms are preferable to passive forms.
[4]
Menander fr. 255 Kock, now 199 K.-A.
[5]
Menander fr. 492 Kock, now 382 K.-A. (with indicative
la/lei (Hirschig) for the Suda's infinitive).
[6]
Lysias fr. 305 Sauppe (now 475 Carey OCT); Antiphon fr. 154 Blass.
[7] Again
Demosthenes 19.120: see n.2 above. It is repeated because this concluding paragraph of the entry comes, wholesale, from Harpokration s.v.
