Ἐακότες

Notes

1. = Synagoge epsilon2; Photius, Lexicon epsilon4; and cf. Hesychius epsilon13, where the same headword is glossed as a)lgou=ntes ('feeling pain'); cf. his epsilon12, and also epsilon14, where one finds what might be the singular form of the present headword glossed with intriguingly similar (but not identical) glosses: pareime/nos ('having excused one's self') and a)napepaume/nos ('having rested'), along with a)lgw=n ('feeling pain').
   This perfect active participle, here in the masculine nominative plural, is attested only in lexicography, and is most likely to be a variant or misspelling of a form of the verb e)a/w ('allow'), the perfect active participle of which would properly be ei)ako/tes. Some semantic and morphological influence may have come, however, from forms of a)ni/hmi. In a discussion of Homeric a)nh=ke ('let go') Philoxenus the grammarian (phi 394) cites an Attic form e(/aka, which could be related to the headword were it not for the rough breathing: cf. Etymologicum Magnum 107.3, Etymologicum Genuinum alpha165, Etymologicum Gudianum 144.
