The entry combines glosses and a quotation pertaining to two different connotations of the headword noun e)pifora/; cf. epsilon 2147
[1] = Synagoge epsilon772; Photius, Lexicon epsilon1787. Dative plurals, the headword one evidently quoted from somewhere; perhaps Philostratus, Lives of the Sophists 2.4 (569), one of the few instances where the dative plural is attested in the sense indicated. Hesychius epsilon5389 has a similar entry but with accusative plurals.
[2] Polybius fr. 152 Büttner-Wobst. Here the headword appears in the accusative singular and in the sense of 'onslaught' rather than 'infliction'. Büttner-Wobst accepts Casaubon's attribution of this fragment to Polybius, but observes that Schweighäuser doubted that it was genuinely Polybian (534).
