ὄναρ [page 450] The phrase κατ᾽ ὄναρ which is found for the Attic ὄναρ sexies in Mt, is condemned by Photius ( Lex. p. 149, 25 f.) as βάρβαρον παντελῶς : cf. Lob. Phryn. p. 422 ff. It occurs not infrequently in votive inscrr. but with the meaning in consequence of a dream, and not in a dream, e.g. Syll 780 (= .3 1147) .5 (ii/iii A.D.)

Cic. ad Att. i. 18. 6.
