The headword is aorist active participle, masculine nominative plural, of probiba/zw (cf. pi 2338). Same or similar entry in Photius pi1188 Theodoridis and other lexica, except that some read proa/cantes for the gloss, i.e. an anomalous aorist participle of proa/gw, apparently, rather than of proa/rxw. (Theodoridis regards proa/cantes as correct.) Hesychius pi3346 has the participle probiba/santa (masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative plural; either way, not otherwise attested) glossed with proa/canta. The nominative plural is attested in Athanasius and elsewhere.
