Headword:
Ἀγλευκές
Adler number: alpha,269
Translated headword: sour
Vetting Status: high
Translation: What is bitter.
Xenophon used [the word] in the
Oeconomicus.[1] But the word seems to be foreign, Sicilian; at any rate it is much used later in
Rhinthon.[2]
Also [sc. attested is the comparative]
ἀγλευκέστερον , meaning more/rather bitter.
Xenophon in
Hieron [sc. uses the word].[3]
Ἀγλευκές: τὸ ἀηδές. Ξενοφῶν εἴρηκεν ἐν τῷ Οἰκονομικῷ. δοκεῖ δὲ ξενικὸν εἶναι τὸ ὄνομα, Σικελικόν: πολὺ γοῦν ἐστὶ πάλιν παρὰ Ῥίνθωνι. καὶ Ἀγλευκέστερον, ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀηδέστερον. Ξενοφῶν Ἱέρωνι.
Notes:
[1] The word does not appear in the transmitted texts of Xen. Oec., but is a suggested emendation in both 8.3 (for the mss
ἀτερπές ) and 8.4 (where its superlative could replace the mss
ἀκλεέστατον ).
