Meaning
A thunderous crash enters the ears and makes beasts crouch (XIX.14); the wealth-giving Daimon enters a house in abundance (LXXIII.4). The same verb describes an audible impact and a divine visit, with the object specifying the place entered. The printed ἐσ- spelling is retained as a form of the εἰσ- compound.
