ἔμπης : wholly,
nevertheless; the former meaning is denied by some scholars,
and there are but very few passages to which the latter meaning is not
applicable, e. g. Od. 18.354, Od. 19.37; in its common signif. of
still, yet, nevertheless, ἔμπης may be placed after the concessive part. (precisely
like ὅμως in Att.), and freq. at the end
of the verse, though grammatically and in sense belonging to the
leading verb; Τρωσὶ μὲν εὐκτὰ
γένηται (ἐπικρατέουσι περ）
ἔμπης, Ξ 98, Il. 9.518, etc. καὶ ἔμπης,
Od. 5.205; ἀλλ᾽
ἔμπης,
Il. 8.33; δ̓
ἔμπης correl. to μέν, Il. 1.562.
