Headword: Chôlos
Adler number: chi,425
Translated headword: crippled, lame
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[It is applied] both to a foot and to a hand. Eupolis [writes]: "because you [are] really crippled in the hand."[1] And the Attic[-speakers use the word] kulloi/ ["deformed"] for the feet and hands alike.[2]
Also [sc. attested is] xwlopoio/s ["crippler"]. Aristophanes [writes]: "no indeed, not before I should expose this crippler clearly for the bold-faced one he is."[3]
But [sc. differently-accented] *xw=los [is] a proper name.[4]
Greek Original:
Chôlos: kai epi podos kai epi cheiros. Eupolis: hoti chôlos tên cheira su sphodra. kai kullous hoi Attikoi epi podôn kai cheirôn homoiôs. kai Chôlopoios. Aristophanês: ou dêta, prin g' an touton apophênô saphôs ton chôlopoion, hoios ôn thrasunetai. Chôlos de onoma kurion.
