Photius and elsewhere. The headword is present middle/passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb
ἀγαλματοφορέω .
[1] Although the gloss has already defined the headword participle as though it were active,
Philo Judaeus [see
phi 448, and generally OCD(3) 1167-8] uniformly uses it in a passive sense, i.e. "enshrined". Adler and Theodorides both cite
De vita Mosis 1.27; see also
De mutatione nominum 21; and cf.
De somnis 1.32,
De vita Mosis 2.11, 2.209.
