Headword: Ἀγηλατοί
Adler number: alpha,216
Translated headword: curse-expelling; drives, pursues.
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Thunderbolts.[1]
But ἀγηλατοῖ [is] a verb,[2] [meaning he/she/it] leads, thunderbolts[3] or pursues.
Greek Original:
Ἀγηλατοί: οἱ κεραυνοί. Ἀγηλατοῖ δὲ ῥῆμα, ἄγει, κεραυνοὶ ἢ διώκει.
Notes:
[1] Masculine/feminine nominative plural of this adjective, presumably quoted from somewhere. For the sense, LSJ s.v. cite the phrase ἀγηλάτῳ μάστιγι (i.e. a purifying lightning-strike) in Lycophron, Alexandra 436.
[2] And differently accented, as if from a contracted verb ἀγηλατοῦν ; but LSJ has only ἀγηλατεῖν .
[3] Textual corruption here: a (plural) noun amidst (singular) verbs. Perhaps it has been carelessly repeated from the first part of the entry.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; poetry; science and technology; tragedy
