[1] Present middle of
i(/hmi, third person plural. Same glossing in other lexica (see the references at
Photius iota40 Theodoridis); evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps, as Latte on
Hesychius iota268 asserts,
Homer,
Odyssey 22.304); cf. in any case under
alpha 898,
iota 153,
iota 206.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable (but NB: also in ps.-
Zonaras, where it ends, surely more plausibly, with the aorist
active infinitive
krath=sai -- 'to overpower completely').
