*)eph/puon: e)bo/wn.

Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1618); similar one already in Hesychius and a scholion on Homer, Iliad 18.502, where the headword -- imperfect, third person plural, of the rare verb e)phpu/w -- occurs (in the description of scenes on Achilles' shield: web address 1).
