Notes:
This verb seems not to have been used by writers in the active voice before the first century AD (since we find the first references in
Josephus,
Epictetus and
Plutarch), whereas the middle/passive can be found earlier: esp.
Plato,
Xenophon,
Demosthenes (cf.
delta 1674).
[1] Perhaps the compiler of this entry intends to refer not to
e)ntre/pomai ("I feel respect") but to
e)ntre/pw, the active form of the same verb: "I put to shame, "I discountenance"; cf.
delta 1674.
