*piai/nwn: qerapeu/wn, u(potre/fwn. *ai)liano/s: li/xnon o)/mma kai\ a)selge\s piai/nwn kakh=| e(stia/sei, ta\ th=s *ferefa/tths o)/rgia e)di/yhse qea/sasqai, a)te/lestos w)/n.
Notes:
[1] The headword is present participle of piai/nw, masculine nominative singular, presumably extracted from the quotation which follows. For this verb see also pi 1544, pi 1545, pi 1546, pi 1547, pi 1561.
[2] Aelian fr. 46a Domingo-Forasté (43 Hercher), quoted already at lambda 633. Pherephatte is a variant of the name of Persephone.
