Notes:
Same entry in ps.-
Zonaras; similar ones in
Photius (s.v.
a)napempa/zesqai) and
Hesychius (s.v.
a)napempa/zei and
a)napempazo/menoi, on the second of which see below).
[1] The Aeolic form for
pe/nte "five" is
pe/mpe -- both from Indo-European *
penkwe.
[2] This actual form of the present middle participle, the nominative masculine plural, occurs in (and might therefore be quoted here from) Lucian,
Menippus 12. Note however that
Photius s.v. cites
Plato in this context, i.e. accusative
a)napempazome/nous in
Plato,
Laws 724B.
