English (LSJ)

and βείομαι, Homeric subj. used as fut., I

   A shall live, οὔ τι Διὸς βέομαι φρεσίν Il.15.194; οὐδ' αὐτὸς δηρὸν βέῃ 16.852, cf. 24.131; τί νυ βείομαι αἰνὰ παθοῦσα ; 22.431. (Cf. βιόμεσθα, βίονται (v. βιόω), whence βίομαι, βίε' should perh. be restored in Hom.)

German (Pape)

[Seite 442] auch βείομαι, Hom. nur praes. mit Futur-, Bdtg. ich werde wandeln (βῆναι), ich werde leben, Il. 15, 194. 16, 852. 22, 431. 24, 131. Andere bringen es mit βίος zusammen; danach wäre βείομαι die ursprüngl. Form, durch guna ει aus ι.
