When consulting the Perseus LSJ, I found the following in the entry for
SKEPTOMAI

 , Hom. Il. 17.652, Thgn.1095, and Ion.,
                    Hdt. 3.37, al., Hp.Prog.2, Herod.7.92; but Att. writers
                    (before Arist.) hardly ever have the pres. and impf.
                    ske/ptomai, e)skepto/mhn (exc. Plat. Lach. 185b,
                    ti=Plat. Alc. 2.140a; in Thuc. 8.66, Bauer restored plpf.
                    prou)/skepto ), but use skopw= or skopou=mai as
                    pres., and take the other tenses from ske/ptomai , fut.
                    ske/yomai

Could anyone on the list tell me what was going on when "Bauer restored
....etc "?

Regards
Maurice
