Headword:
Δακνόμενος
Adler number: delta,22
Translated headword: bitten
Vetting Status: low
Translation: With accusative.[1] Inconvenienced, eaten up by the expenses of horse-rearing. For it appears to be expensive to rear horses; which is also connected to the Laconian curse. For indeed the Lakedaimonians did classify this as a curse.[2] It is this: 'may house and rampart[3] get you, and may your horse and your wife take a lover', all these things being expensive and damaging.[4] He said the 'bitten' as a result of the man having been shut up within the bedclothes.[5]
Greek Original:Δακνόμενος: αἰτιατικῇ. ἐνοχλούμενος, ὑπὸ τῶν τῆς ἱπποτροφίας ἀναλωμάτων κατεσθιόμενος. δοκεῖ γὰρ δαπανηρὸν εἶναι τὸ ἵππους τρέφειν: ὅπερ καὶ τῇ Λακωνικῇ προσέζευκται κατάρᾳ. καὶ γὰρ δὴ τοῦτο οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι ἐν κατάρας ἔθεσαν μέρει. ἔστι δὲ αὕτη: οἰκοδομά σε λάβοι καὶ ἀμβολά, ὁ δὲ ἵππος καὶ ἁ γυνά τοι μοιχὸν ἔχοι. ὡς τούτων πάντων δαπανηρῶν ὄντων καὶ ἐπιζημίων. τὸ δὲ δακνόμενος εἶπεν, ἀπὸ τοῦ αὐτὸν κατακεκλεῖσθαι ἔσω τῶν στρωμάτων.
Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Clouds 12, where the headword occurs.
[1] Obscure, unless one is 'bitten' in respect of X in the accusative; or perhaps
δακνόμενος is a middle participle, 'biting', referring to the act of cursing? (Note, however, that this grammatical gloss may simply be a mistaken repetition of the one in
delta 21.)
[2] For this idiom see LSJ s.v.
meros, IV.3.
[3] Cf.
alpha 1532, end, where the present article is cited.
[4] Cf.
iota 577, omicron-
iota 66.
[5] A reference forward to line 37 of the play: "a demarch [mayor] out of the bedclothes is biting me".
