The headword is aorist active infinitive of the verb
e)pitri/bw. It has the same glossing in other lexica, and must be quoted from somewhere -- perhaps
Aristophanes,
Birds 96. For the gloss cf. the second part of
epsilon 2727.
[1] This addendum to the entry explains
Psalm 92.3
LXX; see also
tau 1043, giving the phrase of Theodoret's out of which the present term (femimine accusative plural) is extracted.
Hesychius s.v.
e)pitri/yeis completes the explanation with another term,
suntele/seis ("completions"), which may not render the psalmist's exact meaning. See for instance
Origen,
Fragmenta in Psalmos 92.3-4 for an explanation: the church is carried away by the rivers as the eroded earth.
