Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is (intransitive) aorist indicative active, third person singular, of e)rei/pw. (For this verb cf. epsilon 2956, epsilon 3003, epsilon 3005.) See also the scholia on Homer, Iliad 4.462 (web address 1), from where it is probably quoted.
[2] Greek Anthology 7.210.6 (Antipater of Sidon), addressed to a swallow whose nestlings were eaten by a snake; quoted already at epsilon 3246 and again at kappa 1654; cf. Gow and Page, vol. I (32), vol. II (84), and additional passages from this epigram at alpha 687, eta 251, and tau 390. (While returning to prey upon the mother-bird, the snake fell into the fire and perished; cf. kappa 1654 n.1 for an English translation of the complete epigram.)
