[Seite 690] deponens med., eigtl. zu einer Göttinn πότνια rufen, anflehen, kläglich bitten, wie es B. A. 229 erkl. wird, τὸ μετὰ λύπης τὸν θεὸν ἐπιβοᾶσθαι, wie Tim. lex. Plat. 221, wo Ruhnken viele Beispiele aus Sp. beibringt und zeigt, daß es von Männern und Frauen gebraucht wurde; Luc. Moeris erkl. ποτνιώμενος für attisch, dem hellenistischen δυσφορῶν entsprechend.
