The witness reads φωτίζει in John 1:9 within the clause ὃ φωτίζει πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὸν κόσμον.

The lemma φωτίζω means to illuminate or bring to light, and the lexical range includes literal light and metaphorical enlightenment.

The singular present indicative fits the singular antecedent, τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινόν, and frames its activity as presently true in the sentence.
