Is it common to have sg. nouns that indicate a group with a pl. verb or is it an exception?

Hi Bert, I just looked this up in Monro and Chantraine. Chantraine suggests that this happens "often" but only gives 2 other examples,
15.305 h( plhqu\s ... a)pone/onto
23.157-8 lao\s )Axaiw=n ... pei/sontai muqw=|
Monro gives the same examples.
(see Chantraine, Grammaire Tome 2, section 22; Monro section 169)
Cheers, Chad.
