Headword:
Ἄγοι
Adler number: alpha,381
Translated headword: may hold
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [sc. This verb] signifies many things.
Isaeus used [it] to mean to carry and to lead in and to drag: "for
Xenocles hurt me", he says, "by taking Eumathes off into freedom, when I was leading [him] into slavery."[1] But Antiphon adopted
ἄγοι to mean considered/held: for he says in the
On Truth "may [he] hold the laws great."[2]
Ἄγοι: πολλὰ σημαίνει. Ἰσαῖος δὲ ἀντὶ τοῦ φέρειν καὶ ἐνάγειν καὶ ἕλκειν ἔλαβεν: ἔβλαψε γάρ με, φησί, Ξενοκλῆς ἀφελόμενος Εὐμάθην εἰς ἐλευθερίαν, ἄγοντος ἐμοῦ εἰς δουλείαν. Ἀντιφῶν δὲ τὸ ἄγοι ἀντὶ τοῦ ἡγεῖτο παρείληφε: φησὶ γὰρ ἐν τῷ περὶ ἀληθείας: τοὺς νόμους μεγάλους ἄγοι.
Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration s.v. The headword is present optatative, third person singular, of the verb
ἄγω , presumably quoted from Antiphon (see below); but other material intervenes.
