Δωροδοκηθέντα.
Betacode
*dwrodokhqe/nta.
Notes
- A single word in the Greek: aorist passive participle, nominative/accusative neuter plural, of
dwrodoke/w . It must be quoted from somewhere -- surely from its only other extant occurrence, in Aeschines 3.221 (referring to events in Euboea).
cf. generally delta 1469, delta 1470, delta 1471.
