First person dual

Χαἰ?ετε πἀντες,
Is there a first person dual form for Homeric verbs? Pharr has only the second and third person forms listed, so I'm assuming the first person dual is either very rare and not in Homer, or isn't found in any of the Ancient Greek we have. I'm somewhat uncomfortable with possibly not knowing a verb form, though, so I'd like to know if it exists.

Ditto. I have never encountered 1st person dual ending and I don't remember seeing it in any of my grammar books (scanned through them and there doesn't seem to be in any of them).
