Phagômen kai piômen, ta energêtika dia tou ô megalou: ta de pathêtika phagontai kai piontai dia tou o mikrou.
cf.
epsilon 3140,
pi 1631.
The headword phrase, not identified by Adler, is a quotation from
1 Corinthians 15.32 (where the apostle in turn quotes
Isaiah 22.13).
The aorist subjunctive regularly has a long thematic vowel. Short-voweled middle forms of
fagei=n occur in later Greek, apparently with a future sense, e.g.
Luke 14.15. These forms may be influenced by
pi/omai, which serves as the future of
pi/nw (see LSJ s.v.).
[1] The lexicographer calls these forms "passive," but they are transitive middle forms with a sense indistinguishable from the active.
