Translation:
They are not speaking of the lugos.[1] And Chionides uses it in the masculine in Heroes: "and verily, by Zeus, I don't seem anymore to be different from an agnos growing in a mountain stream."[2] Plato [writes]: "for this plane-tree [is] very wide-spreading and lofty, and the height and the shade of the agnos [are] gorgeous."[3]
But hagnos with the accent on the final syllable [means] pure.
Greek Original:
Ἄγνον: οὐχὶ λύγον καλοῦσιν. καὶ ἀρσενικῶς Χιωνίδης Ἥρωσι: καὶ μὴν μὰ τὸν Δί' οὐθὲν ἔτι τέ μοι δοκῶ ἄγνου διαφέρειν ἐν χαράδρᾳ πεφυκότος. Πλάτων: ἥ τε γὰρ πλάτανος αὕτη μάλα ἀμφιλαφὴς καὶ ὑψηλὴ, καὶ τοῦ ἄγνου τε τὸ ὕψος καὶ τὸ σύσκιον πάγκαλον. Ἁγνὸς δὲ ὀξυτόνως, ὁ καθαρός.
