1Contracted from penthkontoe/ths, variant of penthkontae/ths. Attested in e.g. Plato (Republic 540A, Laws 670B), Appian and Cassius Dio. ↩
2Thucydides uses penthkontou/teis spondai/ (treating the adjective as two-termination), then in the genitive plural the feminine form of the adjective penthkontouti/dwn spondw=n (5.27.1, 5.32.5: see web address 1). ↩
