Headword:
*)/aggaroi
Adler number: alpha,165
Translated headword: messengers
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] those who carry letters in relays.[1] They are also [called] 'couriers' [
a)sta/ndai].[2] The words [are] Persian.
Aeschylus in
Agamemnon [writes]: "beacon sent beacon hither with relaying fire."[3] The word is also used for conveyors of freight and more generally of inanimate objects and slaves. Also [sc. attested is] the [verb]
a)ggaroforei=n in reference to carrying burdens. And [the verb]
a)ggareu/esqai means what we now speak of as being impressed to carry burdens and labor of that sort.
Menander offers this example in the
Sikyonios: "someone arriving by sea puts in? He is labelled an enemy. And if he has anything nice it's pressed into service [
a)ggareu/etai]."[4]
