Note:
= Hesychius epsilon5189; Synagoge epsilon731; Photius, Lexicon epsilon1704; cf., post-Suda, Etymologicum Magnum 364.13-14. It is probable that these entries derive from commentary on Homer, Iliad 9.370 (web address 1), where in place of the present headword (present indicative middle, third person plural) one finds e)pisku/zwntai, the corresponding subjunctive; cf. the scholia thereto. The two forms would have been homophonous in late antiquity.
