Notes:
The main part of this entry is repeated from alpha 3112.
[1] The verb a)pe/yw (of which this could be a neuter present participle) is Ionic for a)fe/yw.
[2] The form e)/yion seems to be imperfect (third person plural or first person singular) of yi/w, variant of yi/zw; cf. epsilon 4070.
[3] The form a)pe/ywn is imperfect (third person plural or first person singular) of a)poya/w: the omega occurs by contraction.
[4] Masculine nominative singular, present active participle, of e(ye/w or e(ya/w, contract-verb variants of e(/yw. See epsilon 4074.
