Headword: Πάλλει
Adler number: pi,76
Translated headword: brandishes
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[He/she/it] moves, shakes, twitches.[1]
"And at this the barbarian collected his spirit and ceased his shaking with fear."[2]
Greek Original:
Πάλλει: κινεῖ, σείεται, ἅλλεται. καὶ ἐπὶ τῷδε τὸν θυμὸν συνελέξατο ὁ βάρβαρος καὶ τῷ πάλλεσθαι ὑπὸ τῷ τρόμῳ ἔληξε.
Notes:
[1] Same or similar glosses in other lexica, and in a scholion on Homer, Iliad 5.304 (where πάλλε occurs); cf. generally pi 115. The headword is evidently quoted from somewhere -- perhaps Aristophanes, Acharnians 965 (where Lamachus does this with his helmet).
[2] Quotation (also at sigma 1486) unidentifiable; transmitted via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti.
Keywords: biography; clothing; comedy; definition; epic; ethics; historiography; history; military affairs
