Notes (2)

Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss FV and a marginal addition in A.
1Third person singular, imperfect, of e)fodhge/w -- attested only here -- from e)pi\ and o(dhge/w, from o(do/s "road" and a)/gw "lead" (cf. omicron 36). ↩
2Also third person singular, imperfect, but of a different verb: podhge/w (from podhgo/s, from pod- "foot" and a)/gw "lead"; cf. pi 1844). Extant instances are mainly in Theodoret, and see already epsilon 2793.
