Headword: Ἐγκαλοῦμαι
Adler number: epsilon,71
Translated headword: I reproach
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
[Used] with dative.[1] 'I reproach you for laziness'.[2] But [the middle voice] ἐγκαλοῦμαι [is used] with accusative [3]. 'For our part we reproach the actions as almost the most shameful'.[4]
Greek Original:
Ἐγκαλῶ: δοτικῇ. ἐγκαλῶ σοι ῥᾳθυμίαν. Ἐγκαλοῦμαι δὲ αἰτιατικῇ. ἡμεῖς τὰς αἰσχίστας σχεδὸν ὡς πράξεις ἐγκαλούμεθα.
Notes:
[1] From one of the Lexica syntactica: J.A Cramer epsilon291, F.W. Sturz 590.24, Magrí and Massa Positano, Laurentianus 59.16 epsilon 32.2. In fact commonly used, as in the example which follows (see n.2), with dative (of person) and accusative (of thing); see generally LSJ s.v.
[2] If this is a genuine quotation, it could from many Christian writers (in whom reproaching laziness is almost a commonplace). But cf. also e.g. Plutarch, Moralia 459C; Dionysius of Halicarnasssus, Roman Antiquities 7.13.3.
[3] Not only accusative but also dative. Probably from Lexicon Syntacticum epsilon291.14 J.A. Cramer.
[4] Although the example is probably from the Lexicon Syntacticum Cramer, the quotation of Gregorius Nazanzienus, In sanctum Pascha 36.648 seems to be taken from the original source (and not through Lexicon Syntacticum), with a corruption in the text, or from another intermediary text already corrupted. The original text is: ἡμεῖς καὶ τὰς αἰτίας, ὡς πράξεις σχεδὸν, ἐγκαλούμεθα ; “we reproach also the intentions, almost like the actions [of the one that, according to law, avoids making faults]”. The αἰτίας of the original text has been changed to αἰσχίστας , distorting completely the sense of the phrase.
