Betacode
*)esi/nonto: e)bla/ptonto.
Notes
- Same entry in Photius and other lexica. (Earlier, Hesychius had had a similar one for
e)si/neto .) The headword is third person plural, imperfect, ofsi/nomai . It must be quoted from somewhere; Theodoridis on Photius s.v. suggests Herodotus 5.74.2, but there are two other possibilities in that author alone, not to mention others elsewhere.
cf. sigma 462.
