Adler number: pi,1586

Translation:
[The imperative piqou=] is perispomenon; for it is a 2nd aorist. Attic-speakers pronounce these perispomenon, and the usage followed the dialect; for analogy calls for low pitch [sc. recessive accent].[1]
"Obey me, for I will speak for your benefit, not for mine."[2]
