Notes

Same or similar entries in other lexica; references at Photius phi111 Theodoridis. The headword -- third person singular, present, of this poetic verb -- is evidently quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities include the Homeric Hymns, Pindar (Olympians 2.73, favoured by Theodoridis) and Oppian. For a related compound adjective, see pi 2014.
