Notes
- The headword is aorist passive subjunctive of
e)pei/gw , first person plural. It must be quoted from somewhere, probably from an ecclesiastical writer such as Basil or John Chrysostom, since they proffer all the extant non-lexicographical attestations of the form. The headword appears with a slightly different gloss,spouda/swmen , in Hesychius epsilon4366 (cf. Ambrosian Lexicon 1644 and 1767).
