Notes:
[1] Same glossing in other lexica. If this headword is actually quoted from somewhere (rather than simply being paradigmatic), there are instances in
Xenophon,
Plato, and elsewhere.
[2]
Agathias,
Histories 5.14 (p.306 Niebuhr), on Justinian I (Eastern Roman emperor 527-565); cf. Frendo (149). The time frame of the quotation is 559 CE. On Justinian, see
iota 446.
[3] Theophylact Simocatta,
Histories 3.15.9; cf.
mu 811.
[4] The first person singular pluperfect would be better spelled
a)peirh/kh, as at
Plato,
Phaedo 99D. The third person singular could be
a)peirh/kei or
a)peirh/kein. In the
Synagoge a)peirh/kh is glossed with the words
a)peirh/kein kai\ a)phgoreu/qhn: e)/sti ga\r a)pro/swpon ("
a)peirh/kein [pluperfect, third person] and
a)phgoreu/qhn [aorist passive, first person]: for it is impersonal"). Evidently pluperfect forms were confusing even then.
[5] Feminine nominative singular of this perfect participle, perhaps from
Menander,
Perikeiromene 131.
[6] Instances in
Xenophon, [
Demosthenes] and elsewhere.
