Sextuple Coordinating Conjunctions among the retired

Recent posts in my senior colleague's blog http://laudatortemporisacti.blogspot.com/
about "Triple Coordinating Conjunctions" have induced me to peruse my copy of John Dewar Denniston's The Greek Particles in which I found on pp. 504 & 507 that our very senior colleague in classical curmudgeonry, viz., Xenophon, had been making quite free with those 'te's and 'eite's during his retirement.
