[Meaning] to be utterly destroyed.
*fqei=sqai: diafqei/resqai.
Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius phi142, where however Theodoridis obelizes
fqei=sqai, the form of the headword transmitted there and here, and favours
fqi/sqai. For that spelling of the aorist middle infinitive of
fqi/nw cf.
phi 500 (but for
fqei=sqai cf. already under
phi 131). According to LSJ,
fqei=sqai is a frequent
varia lectio where
fqi/sqai occurs in
Homer.
Adler classified the entry as an Homeric gloss, but it might, rather derive from Apollonius Rhodius,
Argonautica 3.754.
