Notes:
[1]
e)ntre/pomai is construed with the accusative (cf.
epsilon 1486 for the active
e)ntre/pw) in the sense of 'feel regard for' or 'feel ashamed for', but not in the sense suggested by either the subsequent gloss here,
e)gkli/nontas, or the usage of the word in the quotation that follows (where it is not construed with the accusative).
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Attributed by Kuster to
Polybius or Appian.)
