C.); πὸκ κατόπτας Schwyzer 485.10 (Thespiae, iii B. C.); ποί in Argolic, esp. before dentals, IG 42(1).102.63, al. (Epid., iv B. C.), sts. in other Dor. dialects, as Delphic, ib. 22.1126.26, etc. Cf. προτί. (Cf. Avest. paiti ‘toʼ: the form ποί has prob. lost τ by dissimilation from a following dental.)
