Betacode

*prosptu/comai: proskunh/sw.

Notes

Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius pi1356 Theodoridis, where the headword is wrongly transmitted as prosph/comai. The correct version, prosptu/comai, occurs three times in Homer's Odyssey (including 17.509: web address 1) and once in Euripides.
For the verb prosptu/ssw, see also pi 2796.
