Notes:
[1] The headword is imperfect of
ei)mi/, third person dual, illustrated by quotations from late writers for whom the dual was an archaism.
[2] The beginning of
Aelian fr. 75 Domingo-Forasté (72 Hercher), already in full at
eta 350; and see also
eta 592. (The perfect participle after
h)/sthn seems to be an attempt to summarise the anecdote as a whole, but
h(marthme/na does not fit the grammar: read
h(marthme/nw (ms E and ed.pr.) or Bekker's
h)pathme/nw "deceived".)
