- To grant; to bestow
Meaning
Pan, Hermes, Asklepios, and the daimon addressed in LXXIII are asked to grant a good end to life. The verb presents that outcome as a gift, with τέλος or τελευτή specifying what is given. It does not alone decide whether “end” means final completion, death, or successful fulfilment in every phrasing.
