Adler number: epsilon,386
Translated headword: to take over
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [sc. This verb is used] not in reference to awaiting, but in reference to accepting and taking up.[1]
To take over [something] is to receive [it] from someone else and attempt the second stage oneself. One should examine what was transmitted in the 5th Philippic [sc. of
Demosthenes]: "the matter of seeming to take over something of what he did".[2]

[2] The quoted phrase comes, via Harpokration s.v., from ch.18 of
Demosthenes 5,
On the Peace (a "Philippic" speech in the broad ancient sense of that term, not the restricted modern one). The final three words, here "what he did", should be "what they (the Spartans) did". (See web address 1 below for the text of
Demosthenes 5.18.)
