A. to feed or cherish in old age, esp. one's 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).
