Headword:
Τετραποδηδόν
Adler number: tau,399
Translated headword: four-footedly, on all fours
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Thus the Skiapodes[1] in Libya walked, as they had flat feet and raised one of their feet to shade the rest of their body as shelter from the blazing heat which is common in their land.
Greek Original:Τετραποδηδόν: οὕτως ἐβάδιζον οἱ ἐν Λιβύῃ Σκιάποδες, πλατύποδες ὄντες καὶ ἀνορθοῦντες τὸν ἕτερον τῶν ποδῶν καὶ κατασκιάζοντες τὸ λοιπὸν σῶμα εἰς ἀποφυγὴν τοῦ ἐν αὐτοῖς ὄντος καύματος.
Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Birds 1553, where the dative plural of Skiapodes occurs. The present headword itself, a related adverb, occurs in an earlier play (
Peace 896).
[1] = "shade-feet"; cf.
sigma 600 &
sigma 601, Skiapodes.
