Headword:
Εὐγράμματον
ὄνομα
Adler number: epsilon,3399
Translated headword: well-written name
Vetting Status: low
Translation: [A name] of good omen. But "not well-written" [means] of ill omen;[1] like the [phrase?] Nefersofris, a king of Egypt.[2]
Greek Original:Εὐγράμματον ὄνομα: τὸ εὔφημον. οὐκ εὐγράμματον δὲ τὸ δύσφημον: ὡς τὸ Νεφέρσωφρις Αἰγύπτου βασιλεύς.
Notes:
The headword phrase is presumably quoted from somewhere.
[1] This clause seems to interrrupt the sense, since 'like...' follows on from '...of good omen'.
[2] cf.
tau 762, where the name is surely distorted.
