in pres. part. ὠρεόντων· φροντιζόντων, Hp. ap. Gal. 19.157; but ὡρέοντα· χρονίζοντα, ὧρος γὰρ ὁ χρόνος καὶ ὡρογράφοι οἱ περὶ χρόνου γράψαντες, Hp. ap. Erot. ; but the latter word may be imaginary, the reference being perh. to ὡραῖα ἐόντα in Id. Loc. Hom. 38; neither has been found in our codd. of Hp. ; — we have also ὠρήσαντα· φυλάσσοντα, and ὠρήσσονται· φυλάσσονται, Hsch. ; ὠρεῖν· φυλάττειν, ὅθεν καὶ ὁ θυρωρὸς λέγεται, Id., which together with EM 686.54, al., Corn. ND 1, suggests that ὠρέω is coined by Grammarians to expl. words in -ωρός.

= ὠρεύω, Suid., Apoll. Lex. Hom. erkl. φυλάσσω.
