[29] δέγμενος: generally explained as a perf. part., without reduplication, and with irregular accent (from *“δέγμαι”, probably an older form of “δέδεγμαι”. See Leaf on Il. 2.794, H. G. § 23). But it may be a present form; Leaf remarks that there is no reason for supposing that the affection of “χ” by “μ” is confined to aor. and perf. stems. Cobet altered to “δέχμενος”.
