[Meaning men] eager for copulation.
*kaprw=ntas: o(rmhtikw=s e)/xontas pro\s sunousi/an.
Also in
Photius (
Lexicon kappa170), and paralleled elsewhere. The headword, a present participle in the masculine accusative plural (evidently quoted from somewhere), comes from the verb
kapra/w; it is used literally of sows in
Aristotle, but when used figuratively of women -- as in e.g.
Aristophanes,
Plutus [
Wealth] 1024 (web address 1) -- implies a degree of lust appropriate to a sow wanting a boar. Here, however, it seems to be describing men in an analogous way.
