1671 E. Phillips New World of Words (new ed.) Polyptote,..also in Rhetorick Polyptoton, is a figure in which several cases of the same Noun or Tenses of the same Verb are used in the conjoined clauses.

1770 E. B. Greene Crit. Ess. xx. 91 The Polyptote, in a more enlarged idea, may be defined, ‘a figure of rhetoric, where the same words are used in different cases, and a similar continued thought variously represented to enliven the expression’.

1772 T. Hull Gen. Lett. II. 316 Some figurative Expressions may belong either to Synecdoche, which is a Trope, or Polyptote, which is a Figure.

1981 Italica 58 105 Also lost in Deschamps' translation [of Petrarch] is the polyptote made in 11. 3 and 6 of the original.
