τοῦ τε ‛κτυπεῖτε’ ὁ περισπασμὸς ἠφάνισται· μιᾷ γὰρ αἱ δύο συλλαβαὶ λέγονται τάσει.
toû te ‛ktupeîte’ ho perispasmòs ēphánistai; miâi gàr hai dúo sullabaì légontai tásei.
The circumflex accent on κτυπεῖτε has been eliminated, for the two syllables are uttered at the same pitch. ― translation from: Stephen Usher, op. cit. LCL 466 (1985), ch. xi, ¶ 4, p. 81, ll. 15–17

A diacritical mark of the Greek script, called περισπωμένη (perispōménē, “twisted around”) in Ancient Greek, and found on ᾶ (â), ῆ (ê), ῖ (î), ῦ (û), and ῶ (ô). It is also known as circumflex and is printed either like an inverted breve or like a tilde. It was used to indicate the presence of a falling pitch accent on a long vowel or diphthong in the penultimate or final syllable of a word.


(papyrology) Used to mark an ambiguous string of letters as being a single word, as due to the general lack of word-spacing they might otherwise be read separately.
