[1] Similarly in ps.-Zonaras (who has only the second of the glosses). The headword is imperfect of e)paine/w, third person singular (cf. epsilon 2186, epsilon 2190). It might be extracted from the quotation given, but earlier instances are numerous (Aristophanes, Xenophon, Plato, Demosthenes, Aeschines).
