Ἐδῄουν: παρὰ Θουκυδίδῃ ἀντὶ τοῦ διέκοπτον, διέφθειρον. ἅπασαν κατεδῄουν τὴν ἀνατολικὴν χώραν. καὶ Ἐδῄωσαν, ὁμοίως.
Notes:
[1] Thucydides 2.12.5 (web address 1). Imperfect of δῃόω , third person plural; cf. delta 482.
[2] Quotation (which illustrates the kata- compound version of the headword verb: kappa 526) unidentifiable, but apparently from imperial historiography.
