In the passive or middle voice, it can mean to be persuaded, to trust, to obey, or to be confident in something or someone. The context of the provided examples, however, suggests a possible connection to 'ἐπιτίθημι' (epitithēmi), which means 'to lay upon' or 'to attack'. Without diacritics, 'ΠΙΘΩ' could potentially be a form of 'ἐπιτίθημι' (e.g., 'ἐπιθῶ' - aorist subjunctive active of 'ἐπιτίθημι', meaning 'that I may lay upon' or 'that I may attack'). Given the context of 'συνεπιθώνται' and 'επιθώνται' in the examples, which clearly derive from 'ἐπιτίθημι', it is highly probable that 'ΠΙΘΩ' in this context is a misspelling or a variant of 'ἐπιθῶ' or a related form of 'ἐπιτίθημι'. If it is indeed 'ΠΕΙΘΩ', it refers to the act of influencing belief or action.

Inflection: First Person Singular, Aorist Subjunctive Active (if from ἐπιτίθημι); or various inflections of ΠΕΙΘΩ such as First Person Singular, Present Subjunctive Active, or First Person Singular, Aorist Subjunctive Active, or First Person Singular, Aorist Indicative Active, or First Person Singular, Future Indicative Active, or First Person Singular, Aorist Passive Subjunctive, or First Person Singular, Aorist Middle Subjunctive.
