*)epeisforai=s: katadi/kais.
=
Synagoge epsilon602,
Photius epsilon1404.
The transmitted headword purports to be the dative plural of
e)peisfora/, a word not recognized by LSJ but arguably synonymous with
ei)sfora/ (cf.
epsiloniota 330). Outside lexicography, the word is attested only in Cyril of Alexandria (10 times) but not, apparently, with the connotation suggested by the gloss here. In any event, Theodoridis on
Photius s.v. obelizes
e)peisforai=s, regarding it as a corruption of
e)piforai=s ('inflictions'): see
epsilon 2751.
