*)ekbebo/lbistai: e)corw/ruktai.

e)kbolbi/zw is a rare verb (web address 1), attested only in Aristophanes, Peace 1123 (web address 2) and in the lexicographical entries (Hesychius s.vv. e)kbebo/lbistai and e)kbolbi/sai) and scholia which that line generated, and which preserved the present headword (= Comica adespota fr. 992 Kock, now 326 K.-A.).
For the use of the glossing verb e)coru/ssw (web address 3) in regard to plants, see Xenophon, Oeconomicus 19.4 (web address 4).
