Photius and other lexica, and cf. also
Pollux 1.209. The headword is third person singular, present indicative active, of
e)fedreu/w. It must be quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities.
[3] Adler tentatively attributed this quotation to
Aelian. In fact, as a TLG search reveals, it is
Josephus,
Jewish War 4.223. See on this Theodoridis'
Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXXIV.
