Capable of driving away.
A complex entry. The headword is ostensibly the feminine accusative singular of
ἐλατήρ (
epsilon 750,
epsilon 751), quoted from somewhere most likely to be
Pindar fr.89a Snell-Maehler (
qoa=n i(/ppwn e)la/teiran, a phrase apparently referring to
Artemis). On the other hand:
(a) This same accusative singular also occurs, in a figurative sense (e.g. driving away falsehood), in Christian writers such as John of Damascus and
Dionysius the Areopagite.
(b) Lexica Segueriana 215.21 has (in this alphabetical position) the ungrammatical entry
ἐλατῆρα: ἀπελατικήν .
