Quotation

Ἐπιρρήδην· παρὰ τὸ ῥῶ, τὸ λέγω, ἀφ’ οὗ ῥητὸν καὶ ἄρρητον, γέγονε ῥήδην καὶ ἐπιρρήδην, ὥσπερ παρὰ τὸ τμῶ τμήδην.

Translation (En)

Epirrēdēn "by name": from *rhō "to speak", from which come rhēton "spoken" and arrēton "unspoken", are made *rhēdēn and epirrēdēn, as from *tmō tmēdēn "with cutting".

Other translation(s)

Epirrēdēn « nominalement » : de *rhō « parler », à partir duquel sont faits rhēton « dit » et arrēton « non dit », viennent *rhēdēn et epirrēdēn, de la même manière que tmēdēn « en coupant » vient de *tmō.
