Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Used] with a genitive. [Meaning] to be turned down, to be rejected as unfit. Aristophanes [writes]: "bringing to the city a basket full of peace-offerings she [= the goddess Peace] was rejected three times in the assembly."[1] For in the time of Kleonymos, when Spartan envoys had come, there was dissent in the assembly, when Kleon spoke against [them].[2]
And elsewhere: "Philippicus was rejected straightway and the king appointed Comentiolus general."[3]
