Greek original · Adler’s text

Περιδαρδάπτεσθαι· κατεσθίεσθαι.

Betacode
*peridarda/ptesqai: katesqi/esqai. 

Notes

  1. = 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 of peridarda/ptw, is otherwise unattested.
    Uncompound darda/ptein, which has both literal and figurative applications, occurs in Homer and Aristophanes.
