For the (commonplace) glossing adjective see LSJ s.v. ἐπιχαρής . Its related range of meanings -- frequently, though not necessarily, implying sexual attractiveness -- offer the only clue to the meaning of the present headword ἐγήγαρτος , an adjective attested only here and in Hesychius, Lexicon s.v. where K.Latte flags up textual corruption. (The whole entry in Hesychius is: ἐγήγαρτος. ἐπίχαρτος: ἐπιχαρής ; “egêgartos. Wherein one feels joy: joyful”). The correct reading of the present headword is probably ἐπίχαρτος or another term with similar meaning such as (so LSJ) ἔγχαρτος .
