Thanks, Carl. I was about to post my reply to Jason with those two
citations, plus a couple more, and the Perseus URL for Smyth in case he
wasn't aware of it

If you go to:
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/sourceindex?lookup=Smyth+1956
and enter "Smyth 549" in the SEARCH box, you will get:
[ unfortunately, at the moment you have to have the printed copy of Smyth
to hand to find the appropriate section because you cannot search on the
text itself just yet, only on the Smyth paragraph numbers ]

549. Verbs of the First Class (499) adding a
                     thematic vowel to the verbstem form the second
                     aorist (1) by reduplication (494), as agÙ lead
                     Ígagon,

Scroll back and you will find:

542 D. Mixed Aorists.--Hom. has some forms
                     of the first aorist with the thematic vowel (o/e) of
                     the second aorist; as axete, axesthe (agÙ lead),
