Xenophon [writes]: "for you would find in the houses stores of last years' loaves heaped-up."[3]
And
Aristophanes [writes]: "why are you sitting in a stupor, behaving like stones, cipher[s], sheep, jars heaped up at random?". That is, fools. He is speaking to the spectators; for the intelligent man is being examined through the dullard. 'Jars' stands for pots randomly piled up. For

*nh=sai [sc. is also attested] as a dissyllable.

Notes:
[1] The variant is added in ms M. See further, next note
[2] Same entry -- for
nenhsmen/hn -- in
Photius (nu118 Theodoridis) and other lexica. The headword itself is accusative feminine singular of this perfect middle/passive participle and therefore extracted from somewhere other than the quotation given, which has genitive plural. (The verb is
ne/w (C) in LSJ; older form
nhe/w.) There are instances of
nenhme/nhn in e.g. Dio Chrysostom, Orations 32.87, and of
nenhsme/nhn in e.g. Lucian,
De morte peregrini 35.
[3] An approximation of
Xenophon,
Anabasis 5.4.27.
[4]
Aristophanes,
Clouds 1201-3, with scholion; cf.
alpha 1785,
nu 302,
nu 340,
nu 527.
