 xal atp&apTw: here the verb Tuxouafroa must mean "to gaze at" 

 or to "observe", but orig. it must have meant "to realise to one- 

 self the impressions — the Tuiz&a&iq — that you get from things 

 or persons"; TU7TG)o-tg or svTUTtoo-ig "impression" is the classical 

 philosophical term (e. g. Sophocles, Lex. 1099 cites from Epictet 

 I 6,10 TUTroup.s'9-a ut' «kuv "we get impressions from"). But 

 though we here clearly see the origin of the extensive use of 

 TU7rouo-'0-oa, meaning "to perceive", the verb in this sense is given 

 by no lexicographer. V. 575 sxv si~Yj[[g]], viz. the boy used for
