Headword: *)apoixo/mena
Adler number: alpha,3719
Translated headword: (things which are) passing away
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning things which are] passing on.[1]
Aristophanes [writes]: "stop, stop."[2] For [Hermes] was speaking ill of someone who was dead [i.e. Kleon]. It was a custom among the ancients not to speak ill of those who were passing away.
Greek Original:

Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword participle must be quoted from somewhere but is not otherwise attested.
[2] Aristophanes, Peace 648. Adler, for once, errs, in citing line 326 of the play: the phrase does occur there too, but in a quite different context from the one in question here, which the entry, drawn from the scholia ad loc., proceeds to elucidate. See also, more explicitly, pi 805.
Keywords: biography; comedy; daily life; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics
