*(/eloito: qe/loito.
Notes
- The headword is aorist middle optative of
ai(re/w , third person singular. Same glossing in other lexica; evidently quoted from somewhere. (The gloss seems to have been attracted into the middle voice, which is not normal forqe/lw /e)qe/lw ; Theodoridis on Photius s.v. obelizes it and indicates a preference forqe/loi in Hesychius s.v. Latte on Hesychius regards the headword itself as quoted from Euripides, Alcestis 464.)
The same verb occurs at epsilon 844, epsilon 893, epsilon 896, epsilon 897.
