Greek Original:*)eca/rxontes: a)/|dontes. oi( de\ *trw=es meta\ qoru/bou kai\ h(donh=s paia=nas e)ca/rxontes.
Notes:
[1] The headword is present participle, masculine nominative plural, of the verb
e)ca/rxw (cf.
epsilon 1561,
epsilon 1562). It is probably extracted from
Homer,
Iliad 18.606 ( =
Odyssey 4.19), where the phrase
molph=s e)ca/rxontes was much quoted (
Athenaeus,
Dionysius of Halicarnassus, etc.etc.).
[2] Quotation unidentifiable (though Adler tentatively suggested
Nicolaus of Damascus; cf.
omicron 172).
