Il.17.652, Thgn.1095, and Ion., Hdt.3.37, al., Hp.Prog.2, Herod.7.92; but Att. writers (before Arist.) hardly ever have the pres. and impf. σκέπτομαι, ἐσκεπτόμην (exc. Pl.La.185b, Alc.2.140a; in Th.8.66, Bauer restored plpf. προὔσκεπτο), but use σκοπῶ or σκοποῦμαι as pres., and take the other tenses from σκέπτομαι, fut.
