Vetting Status: low
Translation:
They call out, they guard.[1] Herodotus [uses the word].[2]
Greek Original:
Ἰακχάζουσι: λέγουσι, φυλάττουσιν. Ἡρόδοτος.
Notes:
[1] Iacchus is another name for Bacchus or Dionysus (iota 11). The literal meaning of the word is "they say Iacchus." See LSJ entry at web address 1. "Guarding" seems to be a different interpretation of the passage in Herodotus (next note), as referring to the secrecy of the mysteries.
[2] Herodotus 8.65.4 (web address 2).
