[756] δηρινθ́ητην, here only; but “δηρίσασθαι” 17.734 (?), Od. 8.76, and “ἀδήριτος” 17.42. On this analogy no doubt is founded the variant “δηριθήτην” (“δηρινθήτην κατά τινας, μάλιστα δὲ δηριθῆναι δίχα τοῦ ν”, Eust.); but there seems to be no analogy for such an aor. from an -“ι_”- stem. The usual form of the verb is “δηρι^άομαι”, and MSS. are notoriously untrustworthy with regard to the insertion of “ν” before a dental (see on 5.697). For the double stem cf. “τίνω” beside “τίω, θύνω, δύνω” beside “θύω, δύω. δηρίομαι” (with “ι^”) is found in Pindar O. xiii. 44, while Ap. Rhod.ii. 16 has “δηρινθῆναι”.
