Headword:
Θεηπολεῖν
Adler number: theta,100
Translated headword: to minister in divine things
Vetting Status: low
Translation: To wander about bearing images of the gods, exacting money.
Greek Original:Θεηπολεῖν: θεῶν εἰκόνας ἔχοντα περιπολεῖν, ἀργύριον εἰσπρασσόμενον.
Note:
The headword is the present infinitive active of
θεηπολέω , a poetic variant of
θεοπολέω . Similarly -- i.e. in this hostile manner -- glossed in
Timaeus,
Lexicon Platonicum, and in
Photius and other lexica. Presumably generated by
Plato,
Laws 909D, where
θεοπολεῖν is declared illegal in
Magnesia.
