[Meaning] to be eaten up.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Περιδαρδάπτεσθαι· κατεσθίεσθαι.
Betacode
*peridarda/ptesqai: katesqi/esqai.
Notes
- = Hesychius pi1607 (cf. pi1608 for the active voice), Synagoge, Photius pi653 (where Theodoridis follows Naber in rejecting Porson's conjecture, for the glossing infinitive, of the doubly compound
perikatesqi/esqai ).
The headword, present middle/passive infinitive ofperidarda/ptw , is otherwise unattested.
Uncompounddarda/ptein , which has both literal and figurative applications, occurs in Homer and Aristophanes.
