In Xenophon PROSMENW is used in the sense of waiting for with an
accusative.

RE: methodology
Should we make decisions about word order based on the patterns of a
single word used a few times in a small corpus like the GNT? I wonder
if this is valid methodology. Like Carl, I am not impressed by the
position of TOIS ADELFOIS relative to APOTASSW or PROSMENW. See the
following with a dative preceding PROSMENW.
