Headword:
Exeritheuontai
Adler number: epsilon,1647
Translated headword: they canvass
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] they entice to evil.
Polybius [writes]: "those eager for the generalship canvass the young men and make them well-disposed supporters for the future".[1]
Exeritheuontai: pros kakian ekkalousi. Polubios: hoi tês stratêgias oregomenoi exeritheuontai tous neous kai paraskeuazousin eunous sunagônistas eis to mellon.
Notes:
The headword (extracted from the quotation given) is third person plural, present indicative, of the compound verb
e)ceriqeu/omai.
The translation 'canvass' is borrowed from the Loeb edition, but in fact this verb implies something more underhand; cf. its uncompound version at
epsilon 2984 and under
delta 173.
