Search results for omicron,10 in Adler number:
Greek display:    
Headword: Ὀβολοστάτης
Adler number: omicron,10
Translated headword: obol-weigher
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
An oracular response of the Pythia: "Give me what I want, and don't give what I don't want."
Greek Original:
Ὀβολοστάτης. χρησμὸς Πυθίας: ὃ βούλομαι δός, μὴ δίδου δ', ὃ μὴ θέλω.
Note:
For the oracle see alpha 1878 and alpha 2671 (and pi 3127 for the Pythia). It does not seem to have any connection with the headword here, which appears with gloss in other lexica. (On obol-weighing, see the preceding entry, omicron 9.)
