Search results for epsilon,186 in Adler number:
Headword:
*)egxri/ptetai
Adler number: epsilon,186
Translated headword: comes close
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning he/she/it] approaches.
"Onto the [battering-]rams, whenever they attacked, they were throwing heavy weights, so that the strength [sc. of the rams] would perish as they were coming close."[1]
Greek Original:*)egxri/ptetai: e)ggi/zei. toi=s de\ krioi=s, o(po/t' e)pife/rointo, e)pe/ballon ba/rh, w(s e)gxriptome/nois o)llu/oito h( bi/a.
Notes:
The headword is present middle-passive, third person singular, of
e)gxri/ptw. Other lexica present the headword in slightly different forms (e.g.
e)xri/mptetai), but always with this same gloss; it is evidently quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which uses a present middle-passive participle).
cf. generally
epsilon 187,
epsilon 188.
[1] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
