οἰκτ-ίρω [ῑ] (in codd. freq. -ειρ-, but -ῑρ- in early Inscrr., IG 1(2).971, 976, 982, v. sub fin.; cf. κατοικτίρω): impf. ᾤκτ(ε)ιρον Stesich. 18: fut. οἰκτῐρῶ A. Fr. 199.6 (-ερεῖ codd.): aor. ᾤκτ(ε)ιρα Il. 11.814, A. Pr. 354, al.; Ion. οἴκτ(ε)ιρα Hdt. 3.52:—Pass., only pres. and impf., ibid., X. Oec. 7.40, S. El. 1412:—later forms (as if from οἰκτειρέω): fut. οἰκτειρήσω Sch. Od. 4.740, LXX Ex. 33.19, Ep.Rom. 9.15, Lib. Descr. 30.18: aor. ᾠκτείρησα Sch. A. Pr. 353: aor. Pass. οἰκτειρηθῆναι ib. 637.—Cf. οἰκτείρημα:—
  • pity, have pity upon, c. acc. pers., Il. 11.814, 16.5, Hdt. l.c., 7.38; ἐλεῆσαι καὶ οἰ. Pl. Euthd. 288d; οἰ. τινά τινος pity one for or because of a thing, οἰκτίρω σε θεσφάτου μόρου A.

Gr. 2.558: hence οἰκτῑρω is prob. from οἰκτιρ-yω, and οἰκτίρετε [ῐ] in AP 7.267 (Posidipp.) is an error: but the Att. fut. is οἰκτερῶ acc. to Hdn.Gr. 2.559.]
