Headword:
Ἐκπολεμῶσαι
Adler number: epsilon,589
Translated headword: to provoke to war
Vetting Status: high
Translation: With accusative. Meaning to bring into war.[1] It is also written with eta [instead of omega],

ἐκπολεμῆσαι is construed with accusative.[3]
But
ἐκπολεμῶσαι [means] making enemies, as if spurring people into war.[4]
Ἐκπολεμῶσαι: αἰτιατικῇ. ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰς πόλεμον καταστῆσαι. γράφεται δὲ καὶ διὰ τοῦ η ἐκπολεμῆσαι, ὡς καὶ παρὰ Ξενοφῶντι. Ἐκπολεμῆσαι συντάσσεται μετὰ αἰτιατικῆς. Ἐκπολεμῶσαι δὲ τὸ πολεμίους ποιῆσαι, οἷον ἐπὶ πόλεμόν τινας παροξῦναι.
Notes:
After the initial grammatical point, the first part of this entry follows and abridges Harpokration s.v., who extracts this aorist infinitive from
Demosthenes (1.7, 3.7) and also cites
Thucydides and (see below)
Xenophon.
[1] cf.
pi 1893; see also
epsilon 561.
[2] Harpok. cites book "6" (in fact 5.4.20) of the
Hellenica for this; accordingly, the C19 scholar L. Dindorf (followed by E.C. Marchant in the OCT) seems to have been wrong to emend to
ἔκπολεμώσειε there.
[3] Despite this comment (and the differentiation in LSJ s.v.) it is not at clear whether
ἐπολεμόω and
ἐπολεμέω meant substantively different things.
[4] Quoted from
epsilon 1038, where in fact the prefix is different:
ἐμπολεμῶσαι .
