Headword: Paraloi
Adler number: pi,390
Translated headword: Paraloi
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[This can mean] both those sailing in the ship called Paralos and those inhabiting the coastline of Attica; just as other [residents of Attica] are Plainsmen and Hillmen. And the sacred trireme is called Paralos, which continually served urgent needs.[1] And whenever they wished to send for a commander from foreign parts, such as Alkibiades from Sicily, they used the Paralos.[2] And the same is also called Salaminia. But later another two were added to them, Antigonis and Demetrias.[3]
Greek Original:
Paraloi: hoi te en têi nêï têi Paralôi pleontes kai hoi tên paralion tês Attikês katoikountes: hôsper heteroi Pediasioi kai Diakrioi. Paralos de triêrês hiera kaleitai, hêtis diênekôs tais epeigousais chreiais hupêretei. hopote de ek tês allodapês metapempsasthai stratêgon êboulonto, hôsper Alkibiadên apo Sikelias, têi Paralôi echrônto. legetai de hê autê kai Salaminia. husteron de allai duo prosegenonto autais, Antigonis te kai Dêmêtrias.

cf. pi 388, pi 389.
[1] cf. Thucydides 2.55.1 for the coastal district called Paralos; Thucydides 8.74.1 for the state ship of the same name; and see further, next note.
[2] See already under pi 388, where the same mistake is made: the vessel sent for Alkibiades was the Salaminia (wrongly supposed, in what follows here, to be the same vessel).
[3] At the end of the fourth century BCE, when new tribes of the same names were created in honour of the Antigonid kings. See Philochorus FGrH 328 F48.
