Headword:
Ἀδαμάντινα
Adler number: alpha,426
Translated headword: adamantine
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Solid.[1]
Apollonios, as if conversing with himself, used to say 'I know', and 'it seems to me' and 'where are you headed', and 'one needs to know'." And [his] opinions [were] brief and adamantine.[2]
Greek Original:Ἀδαμάντινα: στερρά. ὁ δὲ Ἀπολλώνιος ὥσπερ ἑαυτῷ διελέγετο, οἶδα, ἔλεγε, καὶ δοκεῖ μοι: καὶ ποῖ φέρεσθε; καὶ χρὴ εἰδέναι. καὶ δόξαι βραχεῖαι καὶ ἀδαμάντιναι.
Notes:
[1] Neuter plural(s); same headword plus gloss in other lexica too; evidently quoted from somewhere -- given what follows, perhaps
Philostratus, Life of Apollonius 3.21, though there are other possibilities.
[2] Much of this material recurs in
kappa 912. The Apollonios in question is the neo-Pythagorean sage A. of
Tyana (C1/2), on whom see principally
alpha 3420.
