[584] ἐνδίεσαν, tarred on the dogs, from “δίημι”, which is elsewhere found only in mid. “δίεσθαι” to chase (12.276, 16.246, etc.) or drive (15.681), and pass. to flee, 12.304, 23.475. Agar's “ἐννίεσαν” (from “ἐν-ἵημι”) is no doubt possible (cf. 14.131) but needless. The lengthening would be excused by metrical necessity, cf. “ἐννεσίηισι” (J. P. xxv. 48).
