Vetting Status: low

Athena".[1]
Greek Original:Ἐκδεές: ἀτελές, ἐλλιπές. ἔδοξε δὲ αὐτοῖς πρότερον, ὡς μηδὲν ἐκδεὲς εἴη τῶν θείων λογίων, εἰς τὴν πόλιν εἰσελθεῖν, [ὅπως] τὸ ἄγαλμα, εἰ δύναιντο, κλέψειαν τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς.
Notes:
The headword, presumably taken from the quotation which follows, is neuter nominative singular of this (otherwise unattested) adjective.
[1] Quotation unidentifiable; variously attributed to
Aelian and
Nicolaus of Damascus. Equally uncertain is the episode (and personnel) involved, but a reasonable conjecture might be the theft of the
Palladion from
Troy by
Odysseus and Diomedes [
Author,
Myth]; see under
pi 34.
