Headword: Καββαλών
Adler number: kappa,3
Translated headword: having thrown down
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
Having thrown down.[1]
Ameipsias in Adulterers [writes]: "You came too, and threw down your three obols."[2]
Greek Original:
Καββαλών: ὁ καταβαλών. Ἀμειψίας Μοιχοῖς: καὶ σὺ μὲν ἦλθες κάββαλες τριώβολον.
Notes:
[1] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 5.343, where the headword verb occurs (in the indicative). The purpose of the entry - difficult to convey in translation - is to illustrate the phenomenon, found in several Greek dialects, where kataballein and other such verbs become kabballein. Cf. kappa 2.
[2] Ameipsias fr.13 Kock; already at alpha 2142.
Keywords: comedy; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; epic
