Favour: P. and V. χάρις, ἡ. Be under an obligation: P. and V. χάριν ὀφείλειν. I should be under great obligation to them for this charge: P. πολλὴν ἂν αὐτοῖς χάριν εἶχον ταύτης της κατηγορίας (Lys. 145). That you may not think yourselves under any obligation to this detestable creature: P. ἵνα μηδʼ ὀφείλειν οἴησθέ τι τῷ καταπτύστῳ, τούτῳ (Dem. 570). Duty: P. and V. τὸ προσῆκον.
