Notes:
[1] Same glossing reproduced by ps.-
Zonaras. The headword itself is aorist active participle, masculine nominative plural, of
e)fi/hmi. It might be extracted from the quotation given here, though ps.-
Zonaras does have it, and other instances are extant: see e.g. fr.564 of
Euripides (preserved by
Stobaeus),
pa/nt' e)fe/ntes h(donh=|.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable.
[3] (The same participle in the accusative plural.) For this sense cf.
epsilon 3865,
epsilon 3866.
