Headword: *)/exrimpt' a)ei/
Adler number: epsilon,4044
Translated headword: was keeping [it] close always
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she] was always bringing [it] near.
Also [sc. attested is the aorist] e)/xrimyan ["they kept (something) close"].[1]
Greek Original:
*)/exrimpt' a)ei/: a)ei\ e)plhsi/azen. kai\ *)/exrimyan.
Notes:
The headword phrase occurs in Sophocles, Electra 721 (of Orestes negotiating tight turns in his chariot: web address 1), with the entry adding the gloss of the scholia there. The same passage is quoted, more fully, at sigma 1664.
[1] Quoted from somewhere unidentifiable. Hesychius epsilon7675 has it with two glossing synonyms; and cf. chi 518. Adler also compares an entry (2779) in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
