Ἐπήρετο· ἠρώτα.

Betacode

*)eph/reto: h)rw/ta.

Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1693). The headword is evidently quoted from somewhere: perhaps Demosthenes 22.5 (web address 1), which generated scholiastic comment, though there are numerous other possibilities.
Hesychius epsilon4582 glosses the same word with the compounded form of the verb used here, e)phrw/ta.
cf. epsilon 2075.
