Notes:
[1] The older form of the first person singular imperfect of
ei)mi/ is
h)=n. Cf.
scholia on
Plato Sophist 243B and
Aristophanes,
Plutus 29; also
Photius and
Hesychius. See also
eta 5,
eta 321,
eta 568.
[2]
Aristophanes,
Plutus 28-9.
[3] George of
Pisidia,
Heraclias 3 fr. 56 Tartaglia, on the Pisidian witnessing the arrival of victorious Heraclius (cf.
eta 465 generally) into Constantinople (14 September 629). Tartaglia notes (236, note 96) that fragments 54-57 concern the emperor's triumphant return to the Byzantine capital; cf.
mu 315 and
omicron 965.
[4] cf. scholion on
Homer,
Iliad 2.77; also
Photius and
Hesychius.
[5] Similar comment in other syntactical sources. A dative with the verb "to be" is most likely to be a dative of possession (someone has something).
