The headword phrase was not identified by Adler but is identifiable via the TLG as a quotation from Cyril of Alexandria, Against Julian 2.35. The meaning of xai/rein in it stems from the use of the imperatives of the verb, xai/re and xai/rete (lit: "rejoice!"), as leave-taking phrases. This meaning of xai/rein as "renounce" is generally seen with an accusative of the thing being renounced (see LSJ s.v. III.2.c at web address 1 below). However, the use of the participle may be by analogy with syntax like that of the gloss: e)ruqria/w + participle = "blush at doing".
[2] cf. chi 161 and chi 165.
