Headword: Dêmêtreios karpos
Adler number: delta,428
Translated headword: Demetrian fruit
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] that of Demeter.[1]
Apollonion is short for the shrine of Apollo. This is the correct reading also in Thucydides.[2] Also Poseidonion, the [shrine] of Poseidon, as Athenaion, the [shrine] of Athena; and Dionysion and Demetrion and all such [shrines] that have names similar to the personal names. But *poseida/neion [is] obviously Doric.[3]
Greek Original:
Dêmêtreios karpos: ho tês Dêmêtros. hoti Apollônion bracheôs, to hieron tou Apollônos. houtôs kai para Thoukudidêi anagnôsteon. kai Poseidônion, to tou Poseidônos: hôs Athênaion, to tês Athênas: kai Dionusion kai Dêmêtrion kai panta ta toiauta homônuma tois andrônumikois. to de Poseidaneion dêlon hoti Dôriaion.
