ὀφλισκάνω

ὀφλισκάνω, to owe, to be liable to pay

ὀφλισκάνω, S. Ant. 470, E. Alc. 1093, Pl. Tht. 161e: impf. ὠφλίσκανον D. 30.2: fut. ὀφλήσω S. OT 511 (lyr.), E. Hec. 327, Ar. Pax 172, Pl. Phd. 117a: pf. ὤφληκα Ar. Nu. 34, etc.; Arc. part. dat. pl. ϝοφληκόσι IG 5(2).262.18 (Mantinea, v B. C.), and 3 pl. ϝοφλέασι prob. in ib. 1: aor. ὤφλησα Lys. 13.65 codd. (ὦφλεν Sauppe), Aristid. 2.143 J., Sopat. in Rh. 8.243 W., (προσ-) Alciphr. 3.26; in correct writers the aor. is ὦφλον, Hdt. 8.26, And. 1.73, etc.; inf. ὀφλεῖν Th. 5.101, etc.; part. ὀφλών IG 1(2).6.31, Th. 3.70, etc.: sts. wrongly written ὄφλειν, ὄφλων, as if there were an Att. pres. ὄφλω; but this pres., though quoted by Hdn. Gr. 1.448, occurs only in late writers as D.Chr. 31.143, 153 (f.l.): ὀφλέω is a still more doubtful form; for in Hsch. ὀφλεῖ shd. be corrected ὄφλει; ὤφλεε in Hdt. 8.26 is an error for ὦφλε (which is given by some codd.): pres. ὀφλίσκω is cited by Suid.; ὀφλάνω by Phot. and Hsch.; and 3 sg. fut. ὀφλανεῖ from Sol. by Sch.Gen. Il. 21.282. (From same root as ὀφείλω, q. v.; origin doubtful: ὀφλισκάνω and ὀφλήσω may be recent formations from ὦφλον, ὤφληκα.):—
