Greek Original:
*)ekbrasqh=|: e)kblhqh=|, e)krifh=|. le/getai de\ kai\ e)pi\ tw=n u(po\ th=s qala/sshs e)kriptoume/nwn. le/getai de\ kai\ e)ceptu/sqh u(po\ th=s qala/sshs.
Notes:
The headword is aorist passive subjunctive, third person singular, of the verb e)kbra/zw or e)kbra/ttw. It is identically glossed (apart from the last phrase here) in the Synagoge (epsilon174 Cunningham). It is evidently quoted from somewhere; perhaps Aelian, De natura animalium 16.19, where it refers to the so-called sea hare (a kind of sea slug).
For the use of the verb in regard to ships, see Herodotus 7.188 (web address 1).
[1] Aorist passive subjunctive, third person singular, of the verb e)kba/llw.
[2] Second aorist passive subjunctive, third person singular, of the verb e)kri/ptw.
[3] The verb e)kptu/w is rarely attested in such a context. This quotation could refer to Jonah (as in Irenaeus, Adversus haereses 6.26). See also Gregory of Nyssa, On Ecclesiastes 5.290.20 and George of Pisidia, Bellum Avaricum 174.
