= Synagoge epsilon2; Photius epsilon4; and cf. Hesychius epsilon13, where the same headword is glossed as ἀλγοῦντες ('feeling pain'); cf. epsilon12, and also epsilon14, where one finds what might be the singular form of the present headword glossed with intriguingly similar (but not identical) glosses: παρειμένος ('having excused one's self') and ἀναπεπαυμένος ('having rested'), along with ἀλγῶν ('feeling pain').
This perfect active participle, here in the masculine nominative plural, is attested only in lexicography, and is most likely a variant or misspelling of a form of the verb ἐάω ('allow'), the perfect active participle of which would properly be εἰακότες . Some semantic and morphological influence may have come, however, from forms of ἀνίημι . In a discussion of Homeric ἀνῆκε ('let go') Philoxenus the grammarian (phi 394) cites an Attic form ἕακα , which could be related to the headword were it not for the rough breathing: cf. Etymologicum Magnum 107.3, Etymologicum Genuinum alpha165, Etymologicum Gudianum 144.
