EPITREPW is regularly construed with a dative of the person and an
infinitive; ANDROS is the object only of AUQENTEIN; it is genitive because
this, like some other verbs of exercising authority (most notably ARCW,
regularly take a genitive object. I might note that this text has been
discussed many, many times on this list.
