Headword: Megarisai
Adler number: mu,388
Translated headword: to Megarise
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] to hold the views of a Megarian.[1] For "Stilpon the philosopher was from Megara, in Greece;[2] [it was he] who so far excelled the rest in inventiveness and sophistry that almost the whole of Greece looked away from others to him [and chose] to Megarise".[3]
Greek Original:
Megarisai: ta Megareôs doxasai. Stilpôn gar ho philosophos Megareus ên, tês Hellados: hos tosouton heurêsilogiai kai sophisteiai proêge tous allous, hôs mikrou deêsai pasan tên Hellada aphorôsan eis auton megarisai.
Notes:
[1] The headword is the aorist infinitive of the verb megari/zw, used in the passage about to be quoted. This is one of that verb's two senses: see LSJ s.v. and mu 384.
[2] Compare epsilon 3539, and contrast theta 136.
[3] Diogenes Laertius 2.113. For Stilpo(n), cf. epsilon 3539, sigma 1114.
