but rising at the end; it is written with the diphthong ει, because Pleias is found by diastasis with the extension of the ε into η; 9Pyrois9. 9Peiraeus9: With the diphthong ει, it has come from "to cross over," Peraeus and by pleonasm of the ι Peiraeus; and the ραι from "peras," and it has added the ι. 9Plateia9: From "platus." 9Polykleitos9: ει; from "kleitos," which is written with the diphthong ει, for from "kleos," kleïtos, and by synaeresis "kleitos," and Polykleitos. 9Peirene9: The spring; it is a spring in Corinth, written with the diphthong ει; for from "peras" comes "aperos," and with pleonasm of the ι "apeiros," and from there "apeirene"; as if, "the much"; and by dropping the α, Peirene; or it was named from a certain Peiren, and for this reason it is written with the diphthong ει. 253 9Peirein9: ει; for from "peras" comes "peren," and with pleonasm of the ι "peiren." 9Peneios9: It is the name of a river, ει; like Alpheios. 9Peirinthos9: It means the square thing placed on top of the wagon, ει; for from "peritheein" came "perinthos," and with pleonasm of the ι "peirinthos." 9Pleisthenes9: It is a proper name, diphthong ει; for just as from "deon" came "dein," by Attic crasis of ε and ο into the diphthong ει; and from "pleon," "plein"; so also from "pleon" and "sthenos" came "pleosthenes," and by crasis Pleisthenes. 9Presbeia9: It is written with the diphthong ει; it means the aged woman, by the rule of proparoxytones in -eia; and otherwise; feminines formed from [words] in -eus through -eia are written with the diphthong ει; for example, "tachys," "tacheia," so also "presbys," "presbeia"; and this happens by syncope; and it should be known that it is found in use very rarely. 9Peisistratos9: With the diphthong ει; for from "peitho," "peiso," Peisistratos. 9Poseidon9: With the diphthong ει; for from shaking the ground; therefore from "pedon" comes "pedoseion," and by hyperbibasmos "Poseideon" and "Poseidon"; and among the Athenians it is written with the diphthong ει; but the Aeolians and the Dorians with ι. 9Peisandros9: From the future "peiso," and Peisistratos likewise. 9Padeios9: diphthong ει, the possessive. 9Paidiou plokamoisi9: ι. 9Peleia9: By the rule of proparoxytones in -eia; and otherwise, the Dorians write it with ι; and it should be known that just as from "maia" comes "maias, maiados," so also from "peleia," "peleias, peleiados," the same spelling being preserved. 9Prytaneion9: By the rule of "balaneion"; and otherwise, the 254 [words] from those in -euo that become -eion are written with the diphthong ει. 9Pithanos9: ι; 9Paideia9; ει; for "paideuo." 9Pandokeion9: diphthong ει; for it is a possessive from "pandokeus." 9Prometheia9: ει, and it is proparoxytone; so is the tradition. 9Praseion9: diphthong ει, the herb. 9Prosecheia9: diphthong ει, and it is proparoxytone from "proseches." 9Pyloros9: Oxytones in -ros are preceded by either ε, or η, or ν, or ω; for example, "phthoneros"; "kamateros"; "ischyros"; so also "pyloros." 9Pragmateia9: The transaction ει; 9Pragmatia9 however the composition ι. 9Prosskomma9: Two ςσ; from "skopto," and the preposition is preserved in the verbs; for the passive perfect indicates "prosskopsetai." 9Proselytos9: η; 9Peiros9; blind; 9Perieie9. 9Prooimion; Penichros; Porosis; Plemmoiro9. 9Poma9: The lid, for distinction. 9Pogon; Piloton; Perosis9. 9Pyon9: The pus. 9Palaistine; Palaistra; Praida; Palaios9. 9Prakteos9: Derived nouns from proper names in -os which are formed through -eos are written with a simple ε; for example, "praktos," "prakteos." 9Pynthano9: From "peutho," "pynthano," as "leipo," "limpano." 9Pele9: Name of an island; 9Pepyromenos9.
9Rhegion9: It is an ethnic name, it is written with ι; and it should be known that Rhegion is a city
is near Sicily; but they call it Rhegeion; because when an earthquake occurred, the things there were formed from the tearing of that place; and from the "rhexis" they say that also
