- stand over; preside
Meaning
The Eumenides stand over or preside in relation to Necessity at LXX.5, immediately after being called punishers of the unjust. The perfect participle describes an established position, not the moment when they first take office. Its dative construction supports a connection with Necessity but does not by itself explain the hierarchy of all these powers.
