P. 1.75; δύστηνον ἐ. πόδα, of a lame man, S. Ph. 291: abs., without πόδα, of one wounded, E. Andr. 1121; ἐξέλξω σε τῆς πυγῆς θύραζε Ar. Eq. 365 (Pors. for ἐξελῶ) ; ἐξελκύσαι τὴν πᾶσιν Εἰρήνην φίλην drag her out of the cave, Id. Pax 294, cf. 315, 506; rare in Prose, as Pl. R. 515e; ἐξελκυσθείς Arist. Pol. 1311b30; τέχναι τινὰ ἐ. τῆς πενίας Lib. Or. 39.14.
ἐξέλκω: (present passive participle ἐξελκόμενος); to draw out, (Homer, Pindar, Attic writings); metaphorically, equivalent to to lure forth (A. V. draw away): ὑπό τῆς ... ἐπιθυμίας ἐξελκόμενος, James 1:14, where the metaphor is taken from hunting and fishing: as game is lured from its covert, so man by lust is allured from the safety of self-restraint to sin. (The language of hunting seems to be transferred here (so elsewhere, cf. Wetstein (1752) at the passage) to the seductions of a harlot, personated by ἐπιθυμία; see τίκτω.)
