The perfect passive of the verb χόω is first attested in the infinitive in Thucydides 2.102.6, Xenophon, Cyropaedia 7.3.15, and Deilochus FGrH 471 F5a. The participle, here in the masculine nominative singular, is perhaps cited here from Plato Comicus (fr.183 Kock, quoted in Plutarch's Themistocles); for other forms see e.g. Polybius 4.40.8 and later historiography (Diodorus Siculus, Plutarch, Arrian, Pausanias).
