Meaning: trans. `hasten, speed' in δίεσθαι (Μ 276 usw.), intr. `run' in δίενται (Ψ 475) and δίεσθαι (Μ 304);

Other forms: Subj. δίωμαι, δίηται, δίωνται (Ο 681 etc.), opt. δίοιτο (ρ 317); act. ἐνδίεσαν. See DELG. - Active preterite forms δίον `I fled' (Χ 251; on δίε s. Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 388), ἐνδίεσαν `they pursued' (Σ 584); note περὶ γὰρ δίε (Ε 566 etc.) `he was afraid', s. below. - Rare forms in A.: δίομαι with inf. `I feared' ( Pers. 700f. [lyr.] bis), διόμενος `drive away' ( Supp. 819, Eu. 357 and 385 [lyr.]); in Gortyn ἐδδίηται (\< ἐσδ- = ἐκδ-), ἐπιδίεθθαι, - διόμενος `drive away, pursue' ( GDI 4997-8). - On διώκω s. v.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Apart from δίε `feared' which is rather a thematic root aorist of δέδοικα, δείδω, remain of the active forms only the ἅπ. λεγγ. δίον and ἐνδίεσαν. The forms, except ἐνδίεσαν and the hapax δίενται, can be thematic. As an athematic disyllabic δίε-μαι is found only in these two forms, one has explained them from ἵενται, ἵεσαν. But if one considers them as old (Schwyzer 686, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 293), the thematic forms are innovations. Note that an IE * dih₁- can hardly become διε-. On διερός `quick' s. v. - Skt. dī́yati `fly' is not certain enough. From other languages have been compared OIr. dīan `quick', Latv. diêt `dance' (Pok. 187). S. also δῖνος, δίζημαι, ζητέω.

Meaning: in Hom. qualification of ἀνήρ (ζ 201 ἀνηρ διερὸς βροτός), of πούς (ι 43); in Diog. Laert. (AP 7, 123) adj. of φλόξ. In Anaxag. 4, 12 the opposite of ξηρός, `humid' (A.).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The meaning was in antiquity already unknown, as appears from the attempts in H.: διερός λαμπρός, ζῶν, περιφανής. Connection with δίεμαι is no solution (as * dih₁- does not give διε-). - Acc. to Schulze (s. Bechtel Lex. s. v.) in ζ 201 = *δϜιερός `to be feared', of δείδω (s. v.); semantically not convincing. One also connects (Frisk) μιαινω; not very convincing (not from an r\/n-stem). One has also split the words.
