Headword: *klepto/menoi
Adler number: kappa,1739
Translated headword: being cheated
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning rhey] being deceived.[1]
"He kept sending [or: he tried to send] gifts to him, knowing that he was a thief and rather deficient in the faith entrusted [to him]."[2]
Greek Original:
*klepto/menoi: a)patw/menoi. e)/pempen au)tw=| dw=ra gnou\s kle/pthn o)/nta kai\ katadee/steron th=s e)gkexeirisme/nhs pi/stews.
Notes:
[1] The headword is present middle/passive participle of kle/ptw, masculine nominative plural: literally 'they being victims of theft'. It must be quoted from somewhere, but not from the quotation given, which has the related noun kle/pths. For the verb and the noun, see also kappa 1737, kappa 1738.
[2] Adler attributes this quotation either to Aelian or to Symeon Metaphrastes. Perhaps, rather Polybius, in whom there is a precise parallel for the phrase 'the faith entrusted to him' (16.22.2).
