Translation

[Meaning he] giving way.¹ Also [sc. attested is] ei)/koi ["might yield"], [meaning he/she/it] might give way.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Εἴκων· ὑποχωρῶν. καὶ Εἴκοι, ὑποχωροίη.

Betacode

*ei)/kwn: u(poxwrw=n. kai\ *ei)/koi, u(poxwroi/h.

Notes (2)

cf. epsiloniota 91.

1The primary headword is present participle of ei)/kw, masculine nominative singular. Same or similar glossing in other lexica, and cf. scholion on Homer, Iliad 5.348, where ei)=ke occurs. The present headword itself might also be quoted from Homer; there are nine instances ↩

2Present optative of the same verb, third person singular. Very probably quoted from Homer, Odyssey 18.374; cf. Latte on Hesychius epsilon831. ↩
