Headword:
Ἄκλητον
Adler number: alpha,899
Translated headword: uncalled, unsummoned
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Unnamed.[1]
"You have given yourself uncalled to the second one".[2] ['Uncalled'] meaning unnamed. "Unsummoned and summoned, the god will be present; for the god does not overlook those seeking virtue. For thus was an oracle given to the Lakedaimonians: summoned and unsummoned alike, god will be present, outside all perception. For one does not need speech to teach necessary things, nor hearing to learn [them]".[3]
Greek Original:Ἄκλητον: ἀνώνυμον. δέδωκας σεαυτὸν ἄκλητον τῷ δευτέρῳ. ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀνώνυμον. ἄκλητος ὁ θεὸς καὶ καλούμενος παρέσται: οὐ παρορᾷ γὰρ ὁ θεὸς τοὺς ἀρετῆς ἀντιποιουμένους. οὕτω γὰρ ἐδόθη χρησμὸς τοῖς Λακεδαιμονίοις: καλούμενός τε κἄκλητος θεὸς παρέσται ἔξω πάσης αἰσθήσεως. οὐ γὰρ φωνῆς δεῖται πρὸς τὸ διδάξαι τὰ δέοντα, οὐδὲ ἀκοῆς πρὸς τὸ μαθεῖν.
Notes:
[1] If the headword is extracted from the first quotation given it is masculine accusative singular (rather than neuter nominative/accusative singular). Same glossing in
Hesychius. (In
Photius the headword is
ἄκλυτον .)
