[920] κατεύγμασιν the prayers symbolised by the ἱκετηρία and offerings of incense. The word could not mean “votive offerings.” Wunder's conject. κατάργμασιν, though ingenious, is neither needful nor really apposite. That word is used of (a) offerings of first-fruits, presented along with the εἰρεσιώνη or harvestwreath, Plut. Thes. 22: (b) the οὐλοχύται or barley sprinkled on the altar and victim at the beginning of a sacrifice: Eur. IT 244 “χέρνιβάς τε καὶ κατάργματα.”
