The headword is aorist passive subjunctive, third person singular, of the verb
e)kbra/zw or
e)kbra/ttw. It is identically glossed (apart from the last phrase here) in the
Synagoge (epsilon174 Cunningham). It is evidently quoted from somewhere; perhaps
Aelian,
De natura animalium 16.19, where it refers to the so-called sea hare (a kind of sea slug).
For the use of the verb in regard to ships, see
Herodotus 7.188 (web address 1).
[1] Aorist passive subjunctive, third person singular, of the verb
e)kba/llw.
[2] Second aorist passive subjunctive, third person singular, of the verb
e)kri/ptw.
[3] The verb
e)kptu/w is rarely attested in such a context. This quotation could refer to Jonah (as in
Irenaeus,
Adversus haereses 6.26). See also Gregory of Nyssa,
On Ecclesiastes 5.290.20 and George of
Pisidia,
Bellum Avaricum 174.
