[1] The only other attestation of the headword -- an imperfect with aorist force -- occurs in Herodotus 1.185.4 (on the construction by Nitocris [nu 433a] of an embankment along the Euphrates), from where it is surely quoted.
[2] From glosses on Herodotus 1.72.3, where the passive a)naisimou=ntai occurs (of a period of time).
[3] Herodotus 3.150.2 (which actually has the *aorist* subjective, a)naisimw/swsi).
