Ἔοικα γοῦν τούτου γε σμικρῷ τινι αὐτῷ τούτῳ σοφώτερος εἶναι, ὅτι ἃ μὴ οἶδα οὐδὲ οἴομαι εἰδέναι → I seem, then, in just this little thing to be wiser than this man at any rate, that what I do not know I do not think I know either

Plato, Apology 21d

Greek Monolingual

και συμπώ Ν
1. συνδαυλίζω τη φωτιά
2. μτφ. υποβοηθώ.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Πρόκειται για διαλ. τ. που, κατά μία άποψη, αντιστοιχεί με το ρ. τσιμπάω, ενώ κατ' άλλους < συμπάζω (< συμπαγής < πήγνυμι)].
