Headword:
*)enau/ein
Adler number: epsilon,1137
Translated headword: to supplicate

Author,
Myth] [...]".[2]
Greek Original:*)enau/ein: to\ i(keteu/ein pro\s toi=s naoi=s. ei) de\ e)nteu=qen *eu)ripi/dhs e)nausa/menos to\n lo/gon a(/panta, ei)=ta me/ntoi *foi/niki periti/qhsin.
Notes:
[1] This meaning of the verb
e)nau/w, labelled sense C in LSJ s.v., is unattested outside
Photius (epsilon824 Theodoridis), the Suda, and ps.-
Zonaras. They or their source seem to have confused
e)nau/w "kindle" (sense A in LSJ) with
e)nnau/w (cf.
naw/s;
Hesychius epsilon2715 and epsilon2601 for the synonym
e)nnai/zw) or
e)nnaeu/w. See the note in Theodoridis (who obelizes the transmitted headword).
[2]
Aelian fr. 244b D.-F. (246 Hercher). (White [below] on Hieronymus 42B makes a connection with
alpha 1842, identifying both passages as deriving from a work by Hieronymus of
Rhodes, and referring to
Euripides' lost play
Phoenix [Author, Myth].) The exact context is indeterminable, but the meaning of the aorist participle
e)nausa/menos required seems to be the one translated here; see LSJ s.v.
