*(uperbasi/as: o(/rkwn paraba/seis, e)piorki/as.

The accusative plural headword is probably quoted from Homer, Odyssey 22.168 (though it also occurs in the final line [828] of Hesiod, Works and Days); but for the glossing cf. the scholia to Iliad 3.107.
For the related verb u(perbai/nw, see upsilon 238, upsilon 259.
