Aristophanes, Frogs 1168, with scholion. Euripides speaks this line.
[1] Aorist participle of pei/qw (pi 1440), masculine nominative singular, extracted from the quotation given. The second aorist has the zero-grade of the root (along with accent on the suffix in non-finite forms), hence a simple iota instead of the diphthong seen in the present tense.
[2] Read ou) "not" instead of the Suda's o( "the."
Keywords: comedy; dialects, grammar, and etymology; tragedy
