Headword:
Μετῄεσαν
Adler number: mu,789
Translated headword: they were pursuing, going after
Vetting Status: high
Translation: They were coming after, they were pursuing. “And, as he had performed the noblest deed, he escaped quickly making straight for his lover. The spear-bearers[1] pursued him, and he would have escaped if he had not run into yoked sheep and, entangled as if in foot shackles, been then tripped up.”[2]
Greek Original:Μετῄεσαν: μετήρχοντο, ἐδίωκον. καὶ ὡς κατειργάσατο τὸ κάλλιστον ἔργον, ἔφευγεν ὤκιστα εὐθὺ τοῦ ἐραστοῦ. μετῄεσαν δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ δορυφόροι, καὶ διέφυγεν ἂν ἐκεῖνος, εἰ μὴ προβάτοις συνεζευγμένοις περιπεσὼν καὶ συμπλακεὶς ὡς πέδῃ κᾆτα ἀνετράπη.
Notes:
This entry, with the third person plural of the imperfect indicative of
μέτειμι from
ἰέναι (‘to go, come’), glosses and exemplifies the verb correctly. See
mu 782 and
mu 784 for its related use in law. Particular problems are, however, caused by its appearances at
mu 786 (cf.
mu 699) and
mu 783.
