[Meaning they] were putting in with.
*)epenh/neon: sugkateti/qento.
A confused entry. The glossing verb
sugkateti/qento is drawn from the Homeric
scholia, but as a gloss for
e)pih/|neon ('they were praising', 'they were agreeing to'), rather than for
e)penh/neon ('were piling on/up'). See the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 3.461 (web address 1) and 4.380 (web address 2), and also
epsilon 2186 where the gloss is quoted correctly.
Fueling the lexicographer's confusion may be the fact that although the middle-voice forms of
sugkatati/qhmi regularly mean 'put in with' in the sense of 'get behind' or 'join in supporting', active forms of the same verb can mean 'put (something) together with', and hence might serve as an appropriate gloss for a verb that means 'pile up'. Also,
Homer sometimes uses
e)ph/|neon in tmesis (
e)pi\ d' h)/|neon epsilon 2295), including at
Iliad 3.461, the
scholia to which may be the source for the gloss (cf.
Odyssey 12.294, 12.352). In manuscript this might appear as
epidhneon, which could conceivably be misread as
e)pinh/neon or
e)penh/neon. The headword does occur in
Homer, e.g.
Iliad 7.428 (web address 3).
