Translation

[Meaning] annual. But [sc. note also] e)pe/teion, [meaning] something that is not lasting,¹ but flourishes for a year.²
Also [sc. attested are the phrases] 'yearly fruit'³ and '[yearly] season'.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἔτειον· ἐνιαύσιον. ἐπέτειον δέ, τὸ μὴ μόνον, ἀλλὰ πρὸς ἐνιαυτὸν ἀκμάζον. καὶ Ἔτειος καρπὸς καὶ καιρός.

Notes (2)

[1] Read mo/nimon (cf. epsilon 2093), with Portus, instead of the transmitted mo/non.
2Same entry in Photius; similar one earlier, in Hesychius (but for the headword only, regarded by Latte as quoted from Euripides, Rhesus 435). ↩
3cf. Theophrastus, On the Causes of Plants 3.14.1 (accusative plural of this phrase).

ε2093Ἐπετείους ὑμᾶς ὄνταςyou being yearlyHe made a metaphor from those birds that do not stay in one place, but are borne in flight. That is, [they are] fickle, lightly-esteeming, not always remaining in the same circumstances, fastidious.
