Never mind. I found it in §271, it's accented as if the ending -εος hadn't lengthened, and there doesn't appear to be a digamma lurking behind it. I must be confusing it with something else.
Morale of the story, check Smyth 6 times before posting, not just 4–5!

Accenting in -σις, -εως nouns
I'm in the process of editing a second year Koine reader and while checking the vocabulary lists, it suddenly hit me that the accenting on -σις, -εως nouns appears anomalous.

If you have any experience with modern languages that have gender, e.g., German, that should help. For example: θεός, -οῦ, ὁ God, god. The first item is the lexica...

Oral Latin/Greek
OK, not really Greek, but this is about teaching spoken Latin with a reference to an Attic-Greek-speaking person. Possibly of interest: https://psyche.co/ideas/speaking-latin-brings-an-unmediated-thrill-to-the-classics What is noteworthy is that the person is a professor at Oxford! He started out le...
