The correlative of toiou=ton ["such"], and the [word] used in examples, and the [word] used in exclamation. As in: for there is nothing like hearing the law itself. Demosthenes in the [speech] Against Meidias [writes]: "nothing is as good as hearing the law itself."[1]

[1] Demosthenes 21.46 (web address 1); cf. omicron 784.
[2] Aelian fr. 336b Domingo-Forasté (339 Hercher).
[3] Aelian fr. 250c Domingo-Forasté (252 Hercher); cf. epsilon 215, omicron 944.
[4] Philostorgius, as at delta 470. Kuster pointed out that "amazement" is not appropriate here; this is more like oi(=os expressing fitness or ability (LSJ s.v. III, cf. omicroniota 153, omicroniota 156).
