Thuc. 2. 65§ 12 “σφαλέντες...ἄλλῃ τε παρασκευῇ καὶ τοῦ ναυτικοῦ τῷ πλείονι μορίῳ”: id. 4. 73 § 4 “τῷ βελτίστῳ τοῦ ὁπλιτικοῦ βλαφθῆναι”. The dat. “ὅτῳ” has not been influenced by the “ἐν” in the compound. For the acc. with “ἐνυβρίζω”, cp. Kaibel Epigr. Gr. 195 1 “μή μου ἐνυβρίξῃς ἁγνὸν τάφον”. The “ἐν” has the same force as in “ἐγγελᾶν”: cp. Soph. El. 68“ἐν τοῖς ἐμοῖς γὰρ οὐκ ἐνύβρισας κακοῖς”.
