- Same or similar entry in other lexica; references at Photius epsilon938, where Theodoridis suggests that the headword (present indicative active, third person singular, of
e)nqousia/w ) might be extracted from Aeschylus fr. 58 Radt (quoted in [Longinus], On the Sublime 15.6).
cf. imperfect at epsilon 1226, and related words at epsilon 1363, epsilon 1365, epsilon 1366, epsilon 1367.
