Headword: *)eceso/bhsa
Adler number: epsilon,1658
Translated headword: I scared away
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] I chased out.[1] In the Epigrams: "I scared away the wits poured out of [my] chest."[2] And elsewhere: "and [he] often used to scare away cowering [animals]."[3]
Greek Original:
*)eceso/bhsa: e)cedi/wca. e)n *)epigra/mmasi: e)/kxuton e)k ste/rnwn e)ceso/bhsa no/on. kai\ au)=qis: kai\ ptw=kas polla/kis e)ceso/bei.
Notes:
[1] The headword is aorist of e)ksobe/w, first person singular; presumably extracted from the quotation which immediately follows. For the simple verb sobe/w, see sigma 761, sigma 762.
[2] Greek Anthology 5.260.4 (Paul the Silentiary), on the poet's obsessive love. See further excerpts from this epigram at delta 307, kappa 1273, and pi 3203.
[3] Greek Anthology 6.167.8 (Agathias Scholasticus), where the same verb is used in the imperfect. See further excerpts from this epigram--in which Cleonicus, a hunter and fisherman, makes a dedication to an unnamed god, presumably Pan--at eta 48, kappa 466, and tau 1009.
