That's what I see on page 7-2 of the arrl antenna book.

You can certainly use an end-fed Zepp on other bands but
it won't be a Zepp on those other bands. The definition of
a Zepp is 1/2WL long end-fed with 1/4WL open-wire feedline.

What's the purpose of the 1/4 wave feedline wire that isn't attached
to the antenna? Is it kinda like a 1/4 wave elevated radial hoisted
into the air?
