Meaning to have given over. "He sees Melesia[1] and desires her and sends fifteen thousand gold pieces toward persuading[2] her -- and if more were needed, he said he would give [it]; but she did not accept the gift, maintaining that betraying herself to an unknown man and giving away her beauty as if it were an item on sale was [sc. taking] a courtesan's fee."[3]

[1] The woman referred to was not Melesia, but rather a Milesian (i.e. from Miletus: Barrington Atlas map 61 grid E2) named Monime; cf. mu 490 note and mu 1060. On this point, Toup cited Plutarch, Lucullus 18.3 (so Adler).
[2] Valckenaer emended pei/swn to peirw=n "tempting", comparing peirw=ntos in Plutarch.
[3] Aelian fr.12 Hercher (12b Domingo-Forasté, pp. 23-4); cf. alpha 287, mu 1123, and pi 2648.
