Same entry in Photius and other lexica; similar one already (first gloss only) in Hesychius. The headword -- an intransitive athematic aorist of sbe/nnumi in the third person singular -- is quoted from Homer: either Iliad 9.471 (web address 1) or Odyssey 3.182; see the D scholia to Iliad 9.467 (sic) and Odyssey loc.cit.
