Headword:
Klimazei
Adler number: kappa,1802
Translated headword: bends
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Dinarchus [writes]: "so whenever [speaking for the defence] he would bend and divert the laws.."[1] Meaning twists and turns [them]. But perhaps one should write "he squeezes", meaning he oppresses and violates.[2]
Greek Original:Klimazei: Deinarchos: hotan oun klimazêi kai paragêi tous nomous. anti tou paraklinei kai trepei. mêpote dei graphein blimazei: anti tou thlibei kai biazetai.
Notes:
[1]
Dinarchus fr. IX.3 Conomis; cf.
kappa 1804. The participle "speaking for the defence" is included in Harpokration s.v., from which the present entry derives. Harpok. also manages, unlike the Suda, to cast the headword in the subjunctive (as is clearly correct), not the indicative.
[2] The point being made (already in
Photius) is that the purported verb
klima/zein should perhaps be
blima/zein: cf.
beta 341.
