- Similar material, according to Adler, in Anecdota Oxoniensia 1.136.6 and 1.175.6 (the latter giving rise to entries in the Etymologicum Gudianum and, post-Suda, the Etymologicum Magnum). Compare also epsilon 3126.
Only three forms for the epic third person singular, future, ofei)mi/ are cited here; the fourth would bee)/setai . In order to make the entry coherent, one may therefore either adde)/setai to the list given (so Aemilius Portus, Tittman, Gaisford, as in the An.Ox.) or else modify 'four ways'. Adler reports that ms T has 'many ways' (pollaxw=s ), and Kuster emended to 'three ways' (trixw=s ), as in Etym.Magn..
