Notes:
After the initial grammatical point, the first part of this entry follows and abridges Harpokration s.v., who extracts this aorist infinitive from
Demosthenes (1.7, 3.7) and also cites
Thucydides and (see below)
Xenophon.
[1] cf.
pi 1893; see also
epsilon 561.
[2] Harpok. cites book "6" (in fact 5.4.20) of the
Hellenica for this; accordingly, the C19 scholar L. Dindorf (followed by E.C. Marchant in the OCT) seems to have been wrong to emend to
e)/kpolemw/seie there.
[3] Despite this comment (and the differentiation in LSJ s.v.) it is not at all clear whether
e)kpolemo/w and
e)kpoleme/w meant substantively different things.
[4] Quoted from
epsilon 1038, where in fact the prefix is different:
e)mpolemw=sai.
