Headword: Καλαμώμενος
Adler number: kappa,198
Translated headword: binding stalks, reaping
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
Gathering ears of grain.
For a stalk is the ear of the grain. Also [sc. attested is] 'they bind stalks', they make a profit.[1]
Greek Original:
Καλαμώμενος: σταχυολογῶν. Καλάμη γὰρ ὁ στάχυς τοῦ σίτου. καὶ Καλαμῶνται, πλεονεκτοῦσι.
Notes:
The headword, evidently quoted from somewhere (probably the Septuagint: Ecclesiasticus 33.16), is the masculine nominative singular middle active participle of the verb καλαμάω . See also kappa 194, kappa 197.
[2] This third person plural, present indicative middle, of the same verb (again kappa 200) is doubtless quoted from, again, the Septuagint: see Isaiah 3.12, where its figurative use could bear this gloss.
