Φθεῖσθαι

Notes

1. Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius phi142, where however Theodoridis obelizes fqei=sqai, the form of the headword transmitted there and here, and favours fqi/sqai. For that spelling of the aorist middle infinitive of fqi/nw cf. phi 500 (but for fqei=sqai cf. already under phi 131). According to LSJ, fqei=sqai is a frequent varia lectio where fqi/sqai occurs in Homer.
   Adler classified the entry as an Homeric gloss, but it might, rather derive from Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.754.
