BCH xxvii. p. 7378 (B.C. 250) Qpavéat kal τοῖς μεθ᾽ αὑτοῦ τὸ [στά]διον ἐκκαθάρασιν, and 7° ἐργάταις τὸν ἠθμὸν ἐκκαθάρασιν τοῦ ᾿Ινωποῦ. Vett. Val. p. 2421 τὸν τρόπον μου ἐκκαθᾶραι πάσης κακίας καὶ παντὸς μολυσμοῦ. The verb is supplied in Aazbe/ τοϑ2᾽ 5 Φολόην Κεντ[αύρων ἐξεκάθηρεν, of one of the labours of Hercules. On the form ἐκκαθάρατε in 1 Cor 5’, see Moulton Gr. ii. ὃ 89, Note 2. éxxalo. For the metaphorical use of this verb in Rom 157 we may cite the new Menander fragment, A/fenandrea p. 64% πάντα δ᾽ ἐξεκάετο ταῦθ᾽ ἕνεκα τοῦ μέλλοντος, ‘‘all these feelings were fanned into flame for the sake of the plot.” See also Herodas iv. 49 where a slave is rebuked for her slowness— ὡς ἔκ pe κάεις οὐ θέλουσαν οἰδῆσαι, “how you set me on fire with fury, though I do not wish to rage.
