ἐκλείψας, ἐκλιπών
(Phryn. Ecl. 343, Antiatt. λ 17)

A. Main sources

(1) Phryn. Ecl. 343: ἐκλείψας οὐ δόκιμον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐκλιπών.

ἐκλείψας (‘abandoning’, aor. ptcp.) is not approved, but ἐκλιπών (‘abandoning’, aor. ptcp.) [is approved].


(2) Antiatt. λ 17: λείψας· ἀντὶ τοῦ λιπών. †Ἀριστοφάνης† Ἀνδρομέδᾳ.

Ἀριστοφάνης cod. : Ἀντιφάνης Meineke (FCG vol. 1, 325–6 and vol. 3, 16) : Ἀριστοφῶν Bergk in Meineke (FCG vol. 2,2, 899).

λείψας (‘leaving’, aor. ptcp.): In place of λιπών (‘leaving’, aor. ptcp.). Aristophanes (in fact, Antiph. fr. 33 = C.1) [used it] in [his] Andromeda.


B. Other erudite sources

(1) Hsch. λ 561: λεῖψαν· κατέλιπον.

λεῖψαν (‘they left’, aor.): [I.e.] κατέλιπον (‘they left’, aor.).


(2) EM 330.16–7 (~ Et.Sym. ε 293, [Zonar.] 692.20): ἐλείψασκον· λείπω, λείψω, ἔλειψα· ἔλειψαν, πλεονασμῷ ἐλείψασκον Ἰωνικῶς.

ἐλείψασκον (‘they left’): λείπω (‘I leave’), λείψω (‘I will leave’), ἔλειψα (‘I left’, aor.); ἔλειψαν (‘they left’, aor.), with the addition [of some letters it becomes] ἐλείψασκον, an Ionic form.


(3) Thom.Mag. 136.3: ἐκλιπών, οὐκ ἐκλείψας· ἀδόκιμον γάρ.

[You must say] ἐκλιπών (‘abandoning’, aor. ptcp.), not ἐκλείψας (‘abandoning’, aor. ptcp.). Indeed, [the latter is] not approved.


C. Loci classici, other relevant texts

(1) Antiph. fr. 33 = Antiatt. λ 17 re. λείψας (A.2).
