Dt 8 Sept 19 Across

[barmy]

Repay an archdeacon , say , on way back 6 letters

A _ _ n _ e

I've put avenge , archdeacon is ven, but can't parse it honestly  . Any help appreciated  S

[Lie-in King]

Avenge - 'a Ven(erable; archdeacon's title)' + 'eg' (say, back)

[Neveracrossword]

A = An, Ven = ven(erable) and the ge is eg, say, for example, reversed (on way back).

[newmodarmy]

a ven @ eg (say/for example) backwards

[bhg481]

a ven  = an archdeacon

say = eg, reversed

[Lie-in King]

Apologies, I didn't read enough to see you had the "ven" bit already.
