Headword:
Ἄνω
Adler number: alpha,2579
Translated headword: up
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [
ἄνω ] [sc. can be used] instead of
ἀνά .
Homer [writes]: "not as many as
Lesbos, seat of blessed men, encloses."[1] And one must apply the augment to
ἐέργει , so that it is restrains, tucks in; it tends to mean establishes boundaries.
Ἄνω: ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀνά. Ὅμηρος: οὐδ' ὅσα Λέσβος ἄνω μακάρων ἕδος ἐντὸς ἐέργει. καὶ τὴν πρόθεσιν κολλητέον τῷ ἐέργει, ἵνα ᾖ ἀνείργει, ἀναστέλλει: ὃ καταστρέφει εἰς τὸ περιορίζει.
Note:
[1] A version of
Homer,
Iliad 24.544 (followed by the comment of the
scholia there). The opening negative here is a simple error; beyond that, "seat of blessed men" should more probably be "seat of Makar" (a mythological king of
Lesbos: see in brief OCD(3) 904); cf. "city of Makar" in
Strabo 8.3.31 and esp. 13.1.7, where this line is quoted.
