Headword:
*punqa/nesqai
Adler number: pi,3173
Translated headword: to inquire
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [This verb,
punqa/nesqai] means to hear, to learn, to be taught, to investigate, to ask, or something else, similar to asking but not asking exactly; for there is obviously a difference, especially for the dialecticians, between inquiry [
pu/sma] and questioning [
e)rw/thma].
'Inquiring' [is used] in the orators and in
Homer in reference to hearing and learning. "I learned about Ithaca,"[1] and elsewhere, "for this will be shameful for posterity to learn."[2] Also, "in
Cyprus he heard the great report,"[3] and "learning where each man perished."[4] Also, "Kronion made his fate unknown."[5] In all these [passages]
punqa/nesqai refers to hearing. And
Aeschines in the [speech]
On the mismanaged embassy [writes] "hearing that he had attacked this man."[6] And
Dinarchus in the [speech]
Against Philocles [writes]: "good luck, because in a greater crisis you learned of his shameful greed."[7] And
Demosthenes in the [speech]
On the mismanaged embassy [writes]: "this man made a false report; you believed [it]; the Phocians learned [it]."[8]
