Headword: Choinikes
Adler number: chi,590
Translated headword: choinix, choenix
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The noun means not only the measure [sc. of that name], but also fetters.[1]
Choinikes are fetters of a certain kind; a choinix [is] anything rounded. Hence also the measure is named a choinix. Aristophanes in Plutus [writes]: "your shins are crying out, woe woe, craving the choinikes and the fetters."[2]
Greek Original:
Choinikes: ou monon to metron, alla kai tas pedas sêmainei to onoma. hai choinikes pedai tines eisi: choinix de pan peripheres. dio kai to metron choinix kaleitai. Aristophanês Ploutôi: hai knêmai de sou boôsin, iou iou, tas choinikas kai tas pedas pothousai.
Notes:
For this nominative plural headword see also chi 591. LSJ s.v. notes the two senses of it mentioned here as nos. I and II (of three).
