Notes:
Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius pi74 Theodoridis, where the editor suggests that the headword -- neuter plural of an adjective compounded from the adverb palin "back" and the verbal root phĂȘ- "speak" -- might be quoted from Cyril of Alexandria, De adoratione 1 (PG 68.161c).
Euripides in a choral passage uses the word in its Doric form, with the sense "recanting": pali/mfamos a)oida/ Ion 1096 (web address 1).
