Notes
- The headword, epic present active infinitive of
proseile/w , is presumably quoted from Homer, Iliad 10.347, its only attestation outside lexica and commentaries. Same gloss in the Ambrosian Lexicon, according to Adler, though Hesychius pi3992 and the Homeric scholia proffer different synonyms. For a similar gloss cf. Eustathius Commentary on the Iliad 3.85.
For the prefix cf. pi 2882.
