[1] The headword is third person singular, imperfect, of
e)pisei/w; presumably extracted from the quotation which follows (though it, as given, lacks the headword's

Callimachus has been suggested (anonymous fr.25 Schneider; not accepted by Pfeiffer), as has
Babrius or a Babrian imitator (Crusius, p. 216, with reference to
Babrius 75.4-6, wherein a physician wrongly prognosticates death for an ailing patient). The quotation is a dactylic hexameter.
