You knew.
Headword and gloss are different forms of the same verbal form; cf.
eta 80,
eta 82.
The headword verb is a poorly attested form (in literature only in Lucian) of the second person singular, pluperfect, of
οἶδα , “I know”; and according to Aelius
Herodianus,
Περὶ ὀρθογραφίας 3.2.517, this form, and the more common one,
ᾔδησθα , derive from
ᾔδεις (= the present gloss) by
ἐπέκτασις , “extension”, of the
θα syllable. According to Smyth, section 798, this form occurs in the best manuscripts of
Plato and elsewhere, but is less correct Attic [than
ᾔδησθα ] (web address 1).
The
Lexicon Ambrosianum (
Ambrosianus B12 sup. fol. 77r) has a similar entry to this one, but with better spelling:
ᾔδησθα: ᾔδεις: κατὰ ἐπέκτασιν τῆς Θα , “you knew: you knew, by extension of the
θα [syllable]” (note the quotation from Aelius
Herodianus). With the same headword as in the
Lexicon Ambrosianum, glossed by
ᾔδεις (as here), we have
Hesychius,
Lexicon eta120, probably interpolated – according to K.Latte - by the family S or N of
Glossarium Cyrilli. However,
Glossarium Cyrilli, Coislinianus 394 fol. 113r has an entry identical to this one.
