Translation
"Having no justification nor word that is amenable" -- [meaning] tractable -- "ruling alone by himself."1
"He was so amenable by nature that among Athenians he was Athenian to the utmost and a Lakonian to Lakedaimonians and to Thebans a Theban."2
Comedy calls the amenable person 'dextrous'. See also under 'exposed'.3
So an 'amenable' person is, strictly speaking, a mimic, a jokester.
