Headword:
Ἐωνημένοι
Adler number: epsilon,1889
Translated headword: having purchased
Vetting Status: low
Translation: Buying, or having bought.[1]
Aristophanes [writes]: "for the deity does not allow the possessor to control his own body, but the one having purchased [it]."[2] meaning [the one] buying [it];[3] from
ὠνοῦμαι ["I buy"]. For the rest of the declension of the verb is used. But for the noun[4] the plural is not
ὠνησάμενοι ; thus the Atticists change it and say
πριάμενοι in a heteroclitic expression.
Ἐωνημένοι: ἀγοράσαντες, ἢ ἠγορασμένοι. Ἀριστοφάνης: τοῦ σώματος γὰρ οὐκ ἐᾷ τὸν κύριον κρατεῖν ὁ δαίμων, ἀλλὰ τὸν ἐωνημένον. ἀντὶ τοῦ ὠνησάμενον: ἀπὸ τοῦ ὠνοῦμαι. λέγεται γὰρ καὶ ἡ ἐφεξῆς τοῦ ῥήματος κλίσις. τοῦ δὲ ὀνόματος τὸ πληθυντικὸν οὐκ ἔστιν ὠνησάμενοι. διὸ μεταβαλόντες οἱ Ἀττικοὶ πριάμενοι λέγουσιν ἑτέρᾳ φωνῇ.
Notes:
[1] The headword is the perfect middle participle, masculine nominative plural, of
ὠνέομαι . Similarly glossed in other lexica; evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps
Plato,
Republic 563B). As glosses, one is offered a choice between the aorist active and perfect middle participles (both again nom. masc. pl.) of
ἀγοράζω .
[2]
Aristophanes,
Plutus [
Wealth] 6-7 (Web address 1), from the
scholia to which the entry probably derives. The same passage is also quoted at
delta 119.
[3] The aorist middle participle.
[4] That is, the nominal forms of the participle.
