[320] κατ᾽ ἔνωπα, full in the face. The old grammarians were divided as to the orthography, some reading “κατένωπα” (like “κατέναντα”), others “κατ᾽ ἐνῶπα”, supposed to be a metaplastic acc. of “ἐνωπή” (see 5.374) like “ἰῶκα” beside “ἰωκή”. Monro (H. G. § 107. 2) suggests that both “ὦπα” (“εἰς ὦπα ἰδέσθαι”) and “ἔνωπα” may be neut. sing. from which we have the plur. “προσ-ώπατα” (7.212). Cf. “ἐνωπαδίως ἐσίδεσκεν” Od. 23.94. See also Delbrück Gr. iii. p. 636.
