Quotation

Ἡρῳδιανὸς μέντοι ἄλλως αὐτὸ σχηματίζων, φησὶν ὅτι τοῦ ἄλειφα καὶ λίπα ἡ κατάληξις, οὐκ ἀήθης. ἀλλὰ τὸ μὲν ἄλειφα, ὥσπερ θ<εί>νω θέναρ καὶ κείρω κέρας, οὕτω καὶ αὐτὸ ἐκ τοῦ ἀλείφω, ἄλειφαρ ἢ ἄλειφας [Eustathius has θένω, which is a ghost-form, but the parallels make it clear that the intended etymon is θείνω "to strike"]
