III, +others; so εἴπατε δ᾽ εἴσω 8th c.BC: Odyssea Homerus Epicus “Odyssey” 3.427)]; also εἴσω δ᾽ ἀσπίδ᾽ ἔαξε he brake it through to the inside, [Refs 8th c.BC+ (8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 7.270; so ὀστέα δ᾽ εἴσω ἔθλασεν 8th c.BC: Odyssea Homerus Epicus “Odyssey” 18.96; εἴσω ἐπιγράψαι τέρενα χρόα 8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 13.553; ἐσσύμενοι εἴσω 5th c.BC: Pindarus Lyricus “P.” 4.135; εἴσω κομίζου 4th-5th c.BC: Aeschylus Tragicus “Agamemnon” 1035)]; πέπληγμαι..ἔσω[Refs 5th c.BC+ ([prev. work] 1343; εἴσω.. δεῦρ᾽ εἴσιθ᾽ 5th-6th c.BC: Aristophanes Comicus “Plutus” 231)]; ἡγεῖσθαι εἴσω, φεύγειν εἴσω, [Refs 5th c.BC+ (5th-6th c.BC: Xenophon Historicus “Institutio Cyri (Cyropaedia)” 2.3.21, 7.5.26; παρακαλέσαι εἴσω [prev. author] “An.” 1.6.5.)]
b when a case follows, [Refs 8th c.BC+ (8th c.BC: Homerus Epicus)] prefers the accusative, δῦναι δόμον Ἄϊδος εἴσω [Refs 8th c.BC+ (8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 3.322; πέρησε δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ὀστέον εἴσω αἰχμή 6.10, etc.; ἡγήσατο..
