Headword: Aekêlia
Adler number: alpha,543
Translated headword: unseemly
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] not quiet, nor peaceful, but turbulent [ones].[1] One must understand this with synaloephe as a denial of [sc. being] at rest:[2] referring to those things at which one cannot keep quiet, but, on the contrary, must be disturbed; or a)ekou/sia ["against one's will"], those things that someone would not willingly bear. Or a)eike/lia, i.e. unfitting. Homer [writes]: "unseemly deeds".[3]
Greek Original:
Aekêlia: ouch hêsucha, oud' eirênaia, alla tarachôdê. pros tên sunaloiphên eklêpteon kata apophasin tou hekêlou: eph' hois ouch hoion te hêsuchazein, alla tounantion tarassesthai: ê aekousia, ha ouk an tis hekôn pathoi. ê aeikelia, hoion apeoikota. Homêros: aekêlia erga.
Notes:
The headword, a neuter plural, is extracted from the Homeric passage quoted at the end of the entry.
[1] This initial glossing is absent, Adler reports, from mss AS.
