Headword:
Ἐγχρίπτεται
Adler number: epsilon,186
Translated headword: comes close
Vetting Status: low
Translation: [He/she/it] approaches.
"Onto the [battering-]rams, whenever they attacked, they were throwing heavy weights, so that the strength [sc. of the rams] would perish as they were coming close."[1]
Greek Original:Ἐγχρίπτεται: ἐγγίζει. τοῖς δὲ κριοῖς, ὁπότ' ἐπιφέροιντο, ἐπέβαλλον βάρη, ὡς ἐγχριπτομένοις ὀλλύοιτο ἡ βία.
Notes:
The headword is present middle-passive, third person singular, of
ἐγχρίπτω . Other lexica present the headword in slightly different forms (e.g.
ἐχρίμπτεται ,) but always with this same gloss; it is evidently quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which uses a present middle-passive participle).
cf. generally
epsilon 187,
epsilon 188.
[1] Quotation unidentifiable.
