Notes:
[1] The headword, evidently quoted from somewhere, is similarly glossed in the Platonic Lexicon of Timaeus, and in Photius (omicron182 Theodoridis); cf. also the scholia on Plato, Republic 3.391A (where first-person o)knw= occurs). For this verb see also omicron 113, omicron 114, omicron 116, omicron 117, omega 51.
[2] Xenophon, Anabasis 2.4.22, with the present participle (masculine nominative plural) of the same verb. The passage is quoted again at upsilon 556.
