Notes
- Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword is first person singular, aorist indicative active, of
eu)doke/w (cf. epsilon 3422, epsilon 3423, epsilon 3426). It must be quoted from somewhere -- probably the New Testament, where (all three synoptic Gospels, plus a Pauline letter) in the formeu)do/khsa it appears in God's pronouncement: "this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased").
