Εἰκῶ: τὴν εἰκόνα κατὰ ἀποκοπήν. Εἰκὼν δὲ τὸ ὁμοίωμα, παρὰ τὸ εἴκω, τὸ ὁμοιῶ. ἰστέον δέ, ὅτι φασὶν οἱ ἀκριβέστατοι τῶν ἱστορικῶν, ὡς τὸ οὖλον καὶ ὀλιγότριχον οἰκειότερόν ἐστι γράφειν ἐπὶ τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ Χριστοῦ. καὶ Εἰκῶ, τὴν εἰκόνα. καὶ Εἰκοῦς, τὰς εἰκόνας. Ἀριστοφάνης Νεφέλαις: τὰς εἰκοῦς τῶν ἐγχέλεων τὰς ἐμὰς μιμούμενοι.
