epsiloniota 47,
epsiloniota 258,
epsiloniota 259. The headword is attested as a future indicative of
oi)=da "know" in
Homer (see LSJ s.v.), but it seems better to regard it as some form of
ei)=don "I saw" in the
Greek Anthology (epigram attributed to Antipater of Thessalonica, C1 BCE; cf. note 1).
The first gloss is optative, the second is subjunctive. Since the optative was moribund at least by
New Testament times, we should perhaps not be surprised if the lexicographer shows some confusion.
