Headword: *)iakxa/zousi
Adler number: iota,10
Translated headword: they call on Bacchus
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

[Meaning] they call out, they guard.[1] Herodotus [sc. uses the word].[2]

Greek Original:

*)iakxa/zousi: le/gousi, fula/ttousin. *(hro/dotos.

Notes:

[1] Iacchus is another name for Bacchus a.k.a Dionysus (iota 11). The literal meaning of the headword is "they say Iacchus." See LSJ entry at web address 1. "Guarding" seems to be a different interpretation of the passage in Herodotus (next note), as referring to the secrecy of the mysteries.
[2] Herodotus 8.65.4 (web address 2).

Headword: *)/iakxos
Adler number: iota,15
Translated headword: Iakkhos, Iacchus
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

[Meaning a] hymn to Dionysos.[1] "They sing the Iacchos, like Diagoras."[2] They say that this man was called "the atheist."[3] There was also a second [Diagoras], who was ridiculed for his size. Hermippos in Fates [writes]: "for he was larger [than] he is now, and indeed it seems to me, if one adds [more] of the day, he will be bigger than Diagoras the son of Terthreus ["Quibbler"]."[4]
