Headword: *)eca/llws
Adler number: epsilon,1529
Translated headword: exceptionally
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] to an extreme. "For simultaneously to sacrifice and to propitiate the divinity, beseeching the altars exceptionally, which Prousias the king used to do, falling on his knees and acting like a woman, and at the same time to defile these things and to display one's contempt toward the divinity through the destruction of these things, are the works of a soul that is raving and standing on the outside of rationality."[1]
