Headword: *)epiplw/sas
Adler number: epsilon,2519
Translated headword: having sailed upon
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he] having floated on.[1]
Also [sc. attested is] e)piplw/s, in Homer.[2] [It comes] from the [verb] ple/w, [Ionic] plw/w, [future], plw/sw, [aorist participle] plw/sas, by syncope[3] plw/s, and [compound] e)piplw/s. It is indeclinable, because it is aorist in sound, but its meaning [is] imperfect.[4]
Greek Original:
*)epiplw/sas: e)pipleu/sas. kai\ *)epiplw/s, par' *(omh/rw|. para\ to\ ple/w, plw/w, plw/sw, plw/sas, sugkoph=| plw/s, kai\ e)piplw/s. e)/sti de\ a)/kliton, dio/ti h( fwnh\ au)tou= a)o/risto/s e)sti. to\ de\ shmaino/menon paratatiko/s.
Notes:
[1] The headword participle is quoted from Homer, Iliad 3.47 (web address 1); see the scholia thereto, and same or similar entries in other lexica (beginning with Hesychius epsilon5072); also Eustathius ad loc.
[2] Homer, Iliad 6.291 (web address 2).
[3] According to the scholia to the aforementioned Homeric lines, plw/s is produced by apocope, not syncope (see LSJ s.vv. apocope II and syncope at web addresses 3 and 4).
[4] We would not call this participle "indeclinable"; but perhaps the point is that it has no suffix indicating its tense, although it does have a case-ending.
