Headword: *)apw/moton
Adler number: alpha,3672
Translated headword: abjured
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning something] forbidden, shunned;[1] also impossible. "Why is the deed abjured for the Athenians?" Eupolis in the Cities [sc. writes this].[2]
Also [note that] a)pw/moton does not come from w)mo/ths ["cruelty"], and [nor does] e)co/mnusqai ["to abjure"].[3]
Greek Original:
*)apw/moton: a)phgoreume/non, feukto/n: kai\ a)poi/hton. ti/ d' e)/st' *)aqhnai/oisi pra=gma a)pw/moton; *eu)/polis e)n tai=s *po/lesi. kai\ *)apw/moton, a)po\ w)mo/thtos mh\ gi/nesqai, kai\ e)co/mnusqai.
Notes:
[1] Same or smiliar glossing in other lexica; from the scholia to Plato, Laws 814A, where the headword (which literally means: declared impossible under oath) appears. See also epsilon 1935.
[2] Eupolis fr. 217 Kock, now 234 K.-A.
[3] Rather, both these words derive from o)/mnumi "I swear".
