Adler number: mu,789

Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] they were coming after, they were pursuing. "And, as he had performed the noblest deed, he escaped quickly making straight for his lover.

Notes:
This entry, with the third person plural of the imperfect indicative of
me/teimi from
i)e/nai ('go, come'), glosses and exemplifies the verb correctly. See
mu 782 and
mu 784 for its related use in law. Particular problems are, however, caused by its appearances at
mu 786 (cf.
mu 699) and
mu 783.
