Notes

  1. The headword as transmitted is aorist indicative active, third person plural, of yi/zw (psi 63, psi 113). It is presumably quoted from somewhere, though perhaps not accurately: Hesychius epsilon7719 has the third person singular (generated, in Latte's opinion, by Hipponax: fr. 33 Bergk).
