[1] Perhaps from commentary to
Homer,
Odyssey 16.426, where the headword -- present participle, masculine nominative singular, of
e)fe/pomai -- appears: web address 1. (Other instances in
Odyssey 24.338,
Herodotus,
Thucydides, and elsewhere.)
Hesychius epsilon5211 glosses the feminine form of the headword (probably [DW] quoted from
Plato,
Republic 611E) with the corresponding form of the same verb used here for the gloss. Adler also cites the
Ambrosian Lexicon (1560-1, 1724), the lexicon of
Codex Laurentianus 59.16, and the
scholia to Lucian (46.11 Rabe, on Lucian,
Dialogues of the gods 16.2). Within the Suda, cf.
epsilon 3868.
2The point of this is to differentiate a participle that, in Late Greek, would have been homophonous with the headword. (This one too -- from the verb e)pispa/omai -- must be quoted from somewhere. There are numerous possibilities.)
