Headword: *)egkaqie/menoi
Adler number: epsilon,68
Translated headword: letting down for themselves
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning they] letting fall away.
Greek Original:
*)egkaqie/menoi: a)fie/ntes.
Notes:
Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (104). Headword and gloss are present participles in the masculine nominative plural, the headword that of the verb e)gkaqi/hmi in the middle voice.
This form occurs otherwise only in New Testament commentary: the Catena in Epistulam ad Romanos (Oxon. Bodl. Auct. 2.2) and Cyril of Alexandria, Fragmenta in Sancti Pauli epistulam ad Romanos 197 (quoting the former).
For the (commonplace) glossing participle cf. iota 152. Here its elucidatory function appears to be twofold: to show that the headword is middle voice rather than passive, and to convey the sense of the double compound e)gkaq-.
