[1] The primary headword is aorist of
de/rw, third person plural. Same glossing (of a simple verb -- cf.
delta 123,
delta 266 -- by a compound) in other lexica, and see also the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 1.459, from where the headword is evidently quoted.
[2] This distinction is reversed in ps.-
Zonaras s.v., who claims that
e)/deiran with the diphthong means "they hit," and glosses
e)/dhran with the compound
e)ce/dhran. But either way, it appears that the form with eta -- not registered in LSJ -- is merely a variant (or misspelling?) of that with epsiloniota. The only independent attestation of
e)/dhran itself is in
Origen's
Scholia on Matthew (PG 17.301.5-7):
profh=tai, oi(=s to\n me/n e)/dhran, w(s *Mixai/an, pata/cantos e)pi\ siago/na *Sedeki/ou, to\n de\ a)pe/kteinan, w(s *Zaxari/an. (This episode where the (minor) prophet Micaiah is struck on the cheek occurs in
3 Kingdoms [1 Kings] 22.24
LXX.) See generally LSJ s.v.
de/rw II for its 'colloquial' use, attested from
Aristophanes onwards, as
cudgel, thrash.
