*)epistomiei=n: e)mpodi/sai, katasxei=n.
Notes
- The headword is a future infinitive of
e)pistomi/zw (cf. epsilon 2635) but glossed by aorist infinitives. Of its several occurrences, the one which has generated the present entry is doubtless the one in [Demosthenes] 7.33 (web address 1) -- generally taken to be the work of Hegesippus (eta 57).
