1 Clement XVII:5 Translation

-QEIS is typically a masculine nominative aorist passive participle,
i.e.:

LUQEIS	LUQENTES
LUQENTOS	LUQENTWN
LUQENTI	LUQEISI
LUQENTA	LUQENTAS

So DOXASQEIS is from DOXAZW, and the aorist stem is -DOXAS-.  I believe
that the second person singular aorist active indicative would be
EDOXASAS.  (This is off the top of my head -- if I'm wrong, I'm
confident someone will point it out :-).
