In reference to inanimate things[1] [this means] they cry out.
*krw/zousin: e)pi\ a)yu/xwn bow=si.
The headword is present indicative active, third person plural, of
krw/zw. (For this verb see already
kappa 2492; and cf. generally
kappa 2491.) Its attestions are rare:
Callimachus (
Epigrams fr. 393 Pfeiffer, quoted by
Sextus Empiricus), Lucian (
Electrum 5), and George the Monk (PG 110.636.47). Of these perhaps commentary on
Callimachus is the likeliest source.
Adler cites the
Ambrosian Lexicon (1704) for comparison.
[1] This phrase is absent (Adler reports) from mss AF, and appears misguided: all surviving attestations of this word (see previous note) concern animate entities, specifically birds.
