Translation

[poioi/h is] in the optative, [an alternative for] poioi=.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ποιοίη· εὐκτικῶς, ποιοῖ.

Betacode
*poioi/h: eu)ktikw=s, poioi=. 

Notes

  1. The headword and gloss are alternative forms for the third person singular, present optative, of poie/w. Same material in Photius, under eu)dokimoi=.
    The headword is presumably quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities, in prose writers from Xenophon and Demosthenes onwards.
