Notes
- The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is the aorist participle, masculine nominative plural, of the verb
e)nali/skomai , with passive meaning. Same glossing in other lexica; and cf. also Hesychius epsilon2635, glossing the masculine accusative singulare)nalo/nta assullhfqe/nta, krathqe/nta .
The gloss is the aorist active participle of verbe)mpi/ptw , literally 'I fall in/into'. This verb is often used by orators in the sense of being thrown into prison: see e.g. Dinarchus 2.9, Demosthenes 25.60ei)s desmwth/rion . It can also be used absolutely (Lucian, Toxaris 28).
