Ἀπογειῶσαι· ἀποθεμελιῶσαι.
Betacode
*)apogeiw=sai: a)poqemeliw=sai.
Notes
- Likewise in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword, an aorist active infinitive, must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested. (LSJ gives the verb as
a)pogaio/w rather than the later forma)pogeio/w presupposed here.)
