Greek Original:
*(/ientai: o(rmw=sin. oi( de\ geusa/menoi th=s ni/khs te/leon i(/ento krathqh=nai: e)fi/ento.
Notes:
[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').
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; historiography; military affairs
