Translated headword: narthex; fennel; Narthekis
Vetting Status: low
Translation: "[...] and the ever-ready fennel[-rod] for striking infants' pates [...]."[1]
Look here(?), [sc. for where it is noted] that the narthex is dear to the drunkard and so to light-headed
Dionysus.[2] And [sc. note] the [proverb] "many narthex-bearers, few Bacchi".[3]
And [sc. note] that they say Narthex [is] an islet of
Samos, on the right for those approaching by sea; its ethnikon [is] Narthekoussaios or Narthekousios.[4]
Νάρθηξ. καὶ πανακείταν νάρθηκα κροτάφων πλάκτορα νηπιάχων. ζήτει ἐνταῦθα, ὅτι ὁ νάρθηξ ᾠκείωται τῷ μεθύσῳ καὶ οὕτως ἐλαφρῷ Διονύσῳ. καὶ τό, πολλοὶ ναρθηκοφόροι, παῦροι δέ τε Βάκχοι. καὶ ὅτι Νάρθηξ νησίδιον ἐγγύς φασι Σάμου ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῖς προσπλέουσιν: οὗ ἐθνικὸν Ναρθηκουσσαῖος ἢ Ναρθηκούσιος.
Notes:
Since the headword is unglossed, it is impossible to say which of the diverse meanings of
νάρθηξ (see LSJ s.v., and cf.
pi 2367) has prompted it.
