[698] ζώγρει, perhaps here from “ζωή” and “ἀγείρειν” (or “ἐγείρειν”), and thus a different verb from the commoner “ζωγρεῖν” = to take prisoner (“ζωόσ-ἀγρεῖν”). θυμόν is object of “κεκαφηότα”, as is clear from Od. 5.468 “μή με .. δαμάσηι κεκαφηότα θυμόν”. Compare 22.467 “ἀπὸ ψυχὴν ἐκάπυσσε”. The verb means having breathed out; cf. Hesych. “κέκηφε: τέθνηκε”, and “κεκαφηότα: ἐκπεπνευκότα”.
