Headword: *)ech/rkei
Adler number: epsilon,1746
Translated headword: was sufficient, sufficed
Vetting Status: high

[Meaning] was strong enough.[1] "For the yoke-animals were not sufficient for the difficulty of the road, so that [sc. the men] lifted the wagons and carried them out of the impassable places."[2]
Greek Original:
*)ech/rkei: e)ci/sxuen. ou) ga\r e)ch/rkei ta\ u(pozu/gia pro\s th=s o(dou= th\n xalepo/thta, w(/ste ai)ro/menoi ta\s a(ma/cas e)ce/feron e)k tw=n duspo/rwn.
Notes:
[1] Imperfect of e)carke/w, third person singular; presumably from the quotation given (where it has a neuter plural subject).
[2] Adler tentatively attributes this quotation (again at upsilon 494) to Arrian's Parthica, p. 17, 65 Roos.
