The first part of this entry follows a scholion on Sophocles, Ajax 545, where the headword imperative twice occurs. (Comparably, also, in the scholia on the Aristophanes quoted.)
cf. alpha 635, alphaiota 281, mu 35, sigma 299.
[1] Homer, Iliad 6.264, with scholion. This passage has the uncontracted form of the headword imperative (from a)ei/rw).
[2] Aristophanes, Peace 1, quoted again at alphaiota 299. Here the imperative has the contracted form, like the headword.
