Headword:
Ἄγαμαι
καρδίας
Adler number: alpha,138
Translated headword: I admire at heart
Vetting Status: high
Translation: An Atticism, meaning I marvel [at].[1]
Aelian [writes]: "since, also, the [behaviour? remark?] of
Menelaus to
Paris the son of
Priam I neither praise nor admire."[2]
"Personally I admire these men as well, and the Acarnanian most of all above these men. For he was eager to share with his men the things that he recognized they were going to suffer."[3]
Ἄγαμαι καρδίας: Ἀττικῶς, ἀντὶ τοῦ θαυμάζω. Αἰλιανός: ἐπεὶ καὶ τὴν τοῦ Μενέλεω πρὸς τὸν τοῦ Πριάμου Πάριν οὔτε ἐπαινῶ οὔτε ἄγαμαι. ἐγὼ δὲ ἄγαμαι καὶ τούσδε τοὺς ἄνδρας: τὸν δὲ Ἀκαρνᾶνα μέγιστον καὶ πρὸ τούτων. ἃ γὰρ πεισομένους ἐγίνωσκε, τούτων ἐπεθύμησε τοῖς ἀνδράσι κοινωνῆσαι.
