          either searching for her brother's or her betrothed husband's weapons,
          there fierce Jason, alone, met her.

Usage notes edit

The third principal part pānxī is very rare; outside a few textually uncertain attestations, the above quotation from Columella is the only place it is found. The perfect pēgī might belong to the archaic form pagō/pacō instead.
