[Meaning] to be born alive.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ζωτεῖσθαι· ζωογονεῖσθαι.

Betacode
*zwtei=sqai: zwogonei=sqai.

Notes

  1. The headword infinitive is the same in ps.-Zonaras, but, judging from Photius and other lexica, it should more properly be zwfutei=sqai. (Either way, not independently attested.)
