[Meaning he/she/it] provides for.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Μεδοίατο· φροντίζει.

Betacode

*medoi/ato: fronti/zei.

Notes

The headword is epic middle optative, third person plural, of me/dw, quoted from Homer, Iliad 9.622 (web address 1). The lexicographer fails to recognize the archaic plural form (but the scholia of Aristonicus got it right, glossing with e)pimeloi=nto).
For the verb (and glossing verb), see also mu 402.
