Homer,
Iliad 6.334,
Odyssey 15.138, 16.259, 18.129, 24.265. The last sentences draw a heavy conclusion from the simple formulaic line (repeated 5 times in
Homer) where a speaker asks the hearer to "put together" what he is saying. They probably derive from a commentary on
Homer, who obviously never uses the present headword or any related concept.
