Headword: *)epre/sbeuen
Adler number: epsilon,2859
Translated headword: used to put first in rank
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] used to honor [sc. most].[1]
"Socrates used to put moral philosophy first in rank."[2]
Greek Original:
*)epre/sbeuen: e)ti/ma. o( de\ *swkra/ths h)qikh\n filosofi/an e)pre/sbeuen.
Notes:
[1] The headword (perhaps, though not demonstrably, extracted from the quotation given here) is third person singular, imperfect, of the verb presbeu/w, in sense I.2 at LSJ s.v. See again -- in another context -- at the end of epsilon 3782.
[2] See generally Diogenes Laertius 1.14 and 2.16 (S. 'introduced' moral philosophy). For the actual phrase given here, see under sigma 829 (but with aorist rather than imperfect).
Keywords: biography; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; philosophy
