Headword: Paraplêktôi
Adler number: pi,414
Translated headword: frenzy-stricken
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] mad. Sophocles [sc. uses the word]. "Slaughtering with a frenzy-stricken hand."[1]
And Aelian [writes]: "he did not tolerate him talking nonsense, but silenced the mad rage of his words; and standing upon the raised sword of one of the Dioscuri, and having been struck he was aroused opportunely."[2]
Greek Original:
Paraplêktôi: têi manikêi. Sophoklês. paraplêktôi cheiri sunkataktas. kai Ailianos: ho de ouk ênescheto paralêrein auton, alla tên tôn logôn paraplêga luttan katesigase: kai tôn Dioskourôn henos to xiphos diêrmenon te kai epanestôs, kai plêgeis kairiôs exegreto.
Notes:
The headword is dative singular of para/plhktos, from the first quotation which follows.
cf. pi 415, pi 416.
[1] Sophocles, Ajax 229-230 (web address 1), with scholion. In this lyric passage, Sophocles uses the word in the Doric form parapla/ktw|.
[2] Aelian fr. 64i Domingo-Forasté (part of 61 Hercher), quoted already at epsilon 2406, using not the headword but the accusative of the related word paraplh/c. [The text is corrupt; manuscript G has the neuter participle e)nesto/s to agree with ci/fos, and Bernhardy suggests adding a phrase such as "he fell on him."]
