The headword is present middle participle, masculine accusative or neuter nominative/accusative singular, of
e)pafa/w. The participle used to gloss it is in the same form, but the form of the headword that appears in the quotation is masculine nominative singular. Thus the headword
e)pafw/menon must be extracted from somewhere else; extant possibilities include
Nonnus,
Dionysiaca 47.252.
[1] The same gloss is used at
Lexica Segueriana 226.30; cf.
Hesychius epsilon4280, where the active form of the glossing participle is used.
[2] Arrian,
Parthica fr. 27 (preserved only here).
