Headword:
Ἄγανον
Adler number: alpha,145
Translated headword: firewood, broken; good, gentle
Vetting Status: high
Translation: With proparoxytone accent[1] [this means] wood that has been cut up.
Or brushwood and [wood that is] ready to be cut up.[2]
But some [sc. define it as wood] which is not chopped.
But with the oxytone[3] it means fine. Or good or kindly, though some [say] immortal. Whence also [comes the term] ἀγανοφροσύνη ["kindly-mindedness"].
Also [sc. attested is the verb] ἀγανοῦμεν ["we will make nice"],[4] meaning we will beautify.
And elsewhere: "however gentle you might pass into the Athenian book of death, you would always have your tresses well-garlanded."[5]
Greek Original:Ἄγανον: προπαροξυτόνως τὸ κατεαγὸς ξύλον. ἢ τὸ φρυγανῶδες καὶ ἕτοιμον πρὸς τὸ κατεαγῆναι. οἱ δὲ τὸ ἀπελέκητον. Ἀγανὸν δὲ ὀξυτόνως καλόν. ἢ ἀγαθὸν ἢ ἱλαρὸν, οἱ δὲ ἀθάνατον. ἔνθεν καὶ ἀγανοφροσύνη. καὶ Ἀγανοῦμεν, ἀντὶ τοῦ κοσμήσομεν. καὶ αὖθις: ὡς ἄν τοι ῥείῃ μὲν ἀγανὸς Ἀτθίδι δέλτῳ κηρὸς, ὑπὸ στεφάνοις δ' αἰὲν ἔχοις πλοκάμους.
