[1] Likewise in other lexica, beginning with Hesychius. The headword is imperfect of the verb fauli/zw (cf. phi 139), either first person singular or third person plural; the latter if extracted from the quotation given here (though earlier lexica do not have it), or if the catalyst for these entries is the instance in Josephus, Jewish War 5.443.
