Notes
- Present middle/passive infinitives. The headword appears to be the present infinitive of
qhe/omai (epic/Ionic variant ofqea/omai , although the gloss suggests that it is interpreted as a different verb. The second headword is an Ionic spelling for the infinitive ofqea/omai , glossed with the Attic form. See Hesychius s.vv.qhei=sqai andqhh/sasqai ; also a scholion on Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 1.436 (where the participleqheu/menos occurs).
cf. epsilon 321, theta 97, theta 327, theta 329.
