*mh\ e)lli/pois.
Notes
- A stray phrase presumably quoted from somewhere. Its verb
e)lli/pois -- aorist optative active, second person singular, ofe)llei/pw (epsilon 826) -- is unattested elsewhere; however, the same phrase with the present optative (mh\ e)llei/pois ) occurs in Theodorus Studites, Epistle 175, and the Suda's headword phrase might be a homophonous lapsus for that.
