Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Another name for] Athena. Either because she came forth from the belly and the womb and the head of Zeus; or because she was begotten by the river Triton in Libya, [of one?] wasting away[1] as Athenians believe; or because she was begotten third after Artemis and Apollo; or since Athanes[2] call the head 'triton'; or since she was born beside Triton; or the cause is from trei=n ["to flee"] and to be cautious; or [because she is] generative; or because she bathed in Triton, the river of Libya.
