Headword: *(iketei/a
Adler number: iota,264
Translated headword: supplication
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[i(ketei/a means the same as] i(kesi/a.[1]
Supplication [i(ketei/a] differs from i(kethri/a. Supplication is what one does with words, when one begs to obtain pardon or mercy. Antiphon [writes]: "he begged you not to pity me, lest I try with tears and supplications to mislead you".[2] But i(kethri/a is what those who beg bring as some kind of offering or hold in their hands.[3]
Greek Original:
*(iketei/a, h( i(kesi/a. *(iketei/a de\ i(kethri/as diafe/rei. i(ketei/a me/n e)stin h(\n poiei=tai/ tis dia\ tw=n lo/gwn, o(/tan de/htai suggnw/mhs tuxei=n h)\ e)le/ous. *)antifw=n: peri\ tou= mh\ e)leei=n u(ma=s e)me\ e)deh/qh dei/sas, mh\ e)gw\ da/krusi kai\ i(ketei/ais peirw=mai u(ma=s a)napei/qein. i(kethri/a de/ e)stin, h(\n oi( deo/menoi katati/qentai/ pou h)\ meta\ xei=ras e)/xousin.
Notes:
[1] The form i(ketei/a replaced i(kesi/a (iota 258) in Attic: see both words in LSJ (web addresses 1 & 2).
[2] Antiphon fr. 137 Sauppe; 'he' is the opponent in the trial.
[3] See iota 265.
