Translation

[Meaning] to be pleased [with], to accept.1 Appian [writes]: "the consuls tendered the oaths and said that they would yield to anyone rather than to admit Tarquinius."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Προσήσεσθαι· ἀρεσθῆναι, δέξασθαι. Ἀππιανός· οἱ ὕπατοι τὰ ὅρκια προὔτεινον καὶ ἐς πάντας ἔφασαν ἐνδώσειν μᾶλλον ἢ Ταρκύνιον προσήσεσθαι.

Notes (2)

  1. Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
  2. 1The headword is future middle infinitive of prosi/hmi, presumably extracted from the quotation given. For this verb see also pi 2691. ↩
  3. 2Appian, Basilica fr. 11 (web address 1), preserved only here. For Tarquinius see generally tau 125, tau 126. ↩
