Notes:
The headword is aorist subjunctive middle, first person singular, of the verb
ptu/ssw (for related words see the other entries from
pi 3061 through
pi 3063 and
pi 3066 and
pi 3067). Presumably the first quotation is the source of the lemma, where it is used in a general temporal clause; hence the translation need not be different from an indicative (see n. 1).
