[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is aorist infinitive of e)pikwma/zw; cf. under kappa 2263. It must be extracted from somewhere (other than the quotation given here: see next note). Extant possibilities include Diogenes Laertius 7.13 on King Antigonus Gonatas' attempts to inveigle Zeno into parties (to\n basile/a e)pikwma/sai au)tw=| ktl).
[2] Isidore of Pelusium, Epistles 1237.2, quoted already at epsilon 2041. It includes the third person plural, aorist indicative, of the headword verb.
