[1] The headword is an abstract noun derived from the verb e)pithdeu/w (epsilon 2684). Same glossing in Photius and other lexica; first of the glosses also in the scholia to Thucydides 2.36.4, where the genitive case of the word occurs.
[2] Quotation identified in Adler's addenda as John of Antioch fr. 60 FHG (now 137 Roberto); cf. also Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, De insidiis 22 (on 'Borianthos'); and more distantly related to Eutropius, Breviarium 4.16 ('Pouriathos').
