Headword:
Nikêtas
Adler number: nu,386
Translated headword: Niketas, Nicetas
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A proper name. A Doric [dialect] one. So also [there is]
Philetas and Philetes[1] according to Dorians. Both common nouns have the accent [on the last syllable] lowered [in forming the proper names] to distinguish them from the epithets
nikhth/s ["victor"] and
filhth/s ["lover"].
Nikêtas: onoma kurion. Dôrikon. houtô kai Philêtas kai philêtês kata Dôrieis. barunetai de amphô ta koina pros diastolên epithetôn tou, ho nikêtês kai ho philêtês.
Notes:
cf.
nu 385,
nu 387. Perhaps the Doric version of the name should be Nikatas.
[1] Adler prints this word in lower case, but the overall sense of the entry surely requires another proper name.
