Adler number: epsilon,2462
Translated headword: interesting, of interest
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

Greek Original:
*)epime/leon: fronti/dos a)/cion. *(hro/dotos: w(s de\ parech/|ei h( gunh/, e)pime/leon tw=| *darei/w| e)ge/neto. e)pimele\s de\ w(/s oi( e)ge/neto, pe/mpei tw=n dorufo/rwn tina\s gnw=nai, o(/ ti xrh/saito tw=| i(/ppw| h( gunh/.
Notes:
[1] The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given (though the mss of Herodotus himself -- see next note -- have e)pimele/s twice).
