Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references in Photius pi679 Theodoridis. First person plural, future, of
peri/eimi (fromei)mi/ "I am"), glossed by the corresponding form ofperigi/gnomai .
The headword must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities begin with two in the speeches in Thucydides (1.121.4, 6.80.4; cf. Dionysius of Halicarnassus, On Thucydides 38).
cf. pi 1130, pi 1146.
