Greek original · Adler’s text

Περισσοεπῆσαι· περισσολογῆσαι.

Betacode
*perissoeph=sai: perissologh=sai. 

Notes

  1. Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius pi762 Theodoridis. The headword, aorist active infinitive of perissoepe/w, must be quoted from somewhere; Theodoridis suggests Cyril of Alexandria PG 68.597a (which actually has perittoeph/sei).
