*)ekmagh=sai: e)ktupw=sai.
Notes
- Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. Earlier, Hesychius epsilon1512 had glossed
e)kmagei=sai (otherwise unattested) withe)ktupwqei=sai .
The headword is apparently an aorist active infinitive ofe)kma/ssw , formed on the basis of the aorist passivee)kmagh=nai (for which see Plato, Theaetetus 191E). If it is not simply generated bye)kmagei=sai (see above), it must be quoted from somewhere (and might, in context, be figurative).
cf. epsilon 491.
