Ἠμί· φημί, λέγω.

Betacode

*)hmi/: fhmi/, le/gw.

On this verb, see eta 3, eta 100, eta 101, eta 371, eta 582, and Smyth §792 (web address 1).
While this first-person singular is probably here as a paradigm, it does occur in (e.g.) Aristophanes, Clouds 1145 and Frogs 37, both times to summon a slave to open a door.
