[Meaning] I call upon prayerfully. For supplicants [are called] protro/paioi. Sophocles [writes]: "this much I urge you, o Zeus; and together [with you] I call Hermes as a guide."1
Also [sc. attested is the middle-voice] protre/pomai/ se ["I urge you on"]; [i.e. used] with an accusative.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Προτρέπω· εὐκτικῶς παρακαλῶ. προτρόπαιοι γὰρ οἱ ἱκέται. Σοφοκλῆς. τοσαῦτά σ', ὦ Ζεῦ, προτρέπω· καλῶ δ' ἅμα πομπαῖον Ἑρμῆν. καὶ Προτρέπομαί σε· αἰτιατικῇ.
