*pro/seilos: pro\s th\n ei)/lhn, h)/toi qermasi/an.

There is a comparable entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1305). See also Photius, Lexicon pi1306 Theodoridis, with other references there, and scholia to the famous instance of the headword in (?)Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 451 (do/mous prosei/lous).
The entry is essentially etymological (a point hard to convey in translation), pertaining to the eil- stem; cf. epsiloniota 111.
