[1] The headword is an abstract noun derived from the verb
e)pithdeu/w (
epsilon 2684). Same glossing in
Photius and other lexica; first of the glosses also in the
scholia to
Thucydides 2.36.4, where the genitive case of the word occurs.
[2] Quotation identified in Adler's addenda as John of
Antioch fr. 60 FHG (now 137 Roberto); cf. also Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus,
De insidiis 22 (on 'Borianthos'); and more distantly related to Eutropius,
Breviarium 4.16 ('Pouriathos').
