(For this verb see also epsilon 2031, epsilon 2331.) Hesychius epsilon4309 glosses the third person singular imperfect likewise, but in the present instance the form is ambiguous as between first singular and third plural. The latter is more likely, given the attested instances which may have generated the entry (e.g. Arrian, Anabasis 1.11.2; Cassius Dio 8.36.19, 41.9.5).
