Headword: *)eceriqeu/ontai
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]
Greek Original:
*)eceriqeu/ontai: pro\s kaki/an e)kkalou=si. *polu/bios: oi( th=s strathgi/as o)rego/menoi e)ceriqeu/ontai tou\s ne/ous kai\ paraskeua/zousin eu)/nous sunagwnista\s ei)s to\ me/llon.
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.
[1] Polybius 10.22.9; see in full (and in broader context) at phi 409.
