γηροβοσκέω, to feed in old age

γηροβοσκ-έω,
  • to feed or cherish in old age, esp. oneʼs parents, E. Med. 1033, Alc. 663; also τέκνα Demoph. Sent. 43:—Pass., to be cherished when old, Ar. Ach. 678 (γηρωβοσκήσει is read in Lib. Decl. 49.22; γηρωβοσκήσαντα is v.l. in Stob. 3.1.38; cf. γηρο-κομεῖον, -κομέω, -κομία, -κόμος: such forms might be due to contr. of γηραο-, but are more prob. misspellings).
