2718. μή is used when the infinitive stands in apposition (1987), and hence is like τὸ μή with the infinitive. Thus, ““τοῦτο ἕν ἐστιν ὧν φημι, μηδένα ἂν ἐν βραχυτέροις ἐμοῦ τὰ αὐτὰ εἰπεῖνthis is one of the things I maintain—that no one can say the same things in fewer words than I canP. G. 449c. Cp. A. Pr. 173, 431, 435, P. R. 497b. Such cases are not to be confused with μή after verbs of asseveration or belief (2725).
