Notes (1)
- Perfect tense forms, in the first person singular, of
pi/nw , "drink" (pi 1623). - 1As in Theognis 477 (quoted by Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 10.428C = 10.32 Kaibel), of wine:
oi)=nos xarie/statos a)ndri\ pepo/sqai . In this verse the infinitive could be interpreted either as a passive (wine good to be drunk by a man) or as a middle (wine good for a man to drink). ↩
