<< I note that Smyth limits "Pindaric construction" pretty much to poetry
and to 3rd singular forms of EIMI and GINOMAI. I think it's questionable
whether this sort of poetic convention impacts upon these particular Koine
instances. >>
I had noticed that, but Robertson seems to use "Pindaric construction" for
compound subjects with a verb in the singular (404-405). See also Moulton
(1:58, 234).
