[1033] ἀδαίετον ὼμοθετῆσαι: 'lay it raw and entire on the fire.' ἀδαίετον 'undivided' is ἅπ. λεγ.; cf. Aen. 6. 253, “et solida imponit taurorum viscera flammis.” ὠμοθετῆσαι properly meant to lay raw slices cut from the carcass on the thighs which were wrapped in a double layer of fat (Od. 3. 456). As this sacrifice to the gods below was offered whole, the verb is very loosely used.
