Adler number: kappa,1339

Vetting Status: low
Translation:
[cited in epic plural nominative]; also "spurred on" [masculine singular]: struck by a goad.
Greek Original:
Κεντρηνεκέες: καὶ Κεντρηνεκής, ὁ κέντρῳ πλησσόμενος.
Note:
The word occurs in the accusative plural, of horses, in Homer, Iliad 5.752 and 8.396. All other instances of the word are discussions of the formula; it is frequently glossed, including Apollonius' Homeric Dictionary, Pausanias the Atticist, Hesychius, Orion [Author, Myth], the Etymologicum Magnum, and the scholiast. The wording of the present gloss is unique to the Suda.
