Headword: *)egkekordulhme/nos
Adler number: epsilon,86
Translated headword: bundled up
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] swaddled up, covered up and wound up so as not even to present the shape of a human, but to appear as a heap of coverings. For kordu/lh is used idiomatically for a prominent swelling on the head, rising to a height and a lump on account of a blow; what we call a ko/ndulos ["knob"]. But Kreon in [book] 1 of his Rhetorica[1] says that a kordu/lh is what a wrap for the head is called among Cyprians, that which is called krw/bulos among Athenians and nida/rion among Persians. [The fact] that in the present instance in Aristophanes 'bundled up' [is used] in in the sense of bound up and having covered himself [is] clear from what follows: "but, if it's all right with you, let's snore covered up."[2] For it was cold, as it seems, and they were covered up. For this reason also he said that his son was covered with 5 coverlets.[3]

Notes:
From the scholia to Aristophanes, Clouds 10, paraphrased later in the entry; cf. kappa 2489 (end), nu 369, phi 28. The present headword (extracted from that line) is perfect middle/passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of the rare verb e)gkordule/w (epsilon 114).
[1] The scholiast calls this work Kypriaka, but both it and its author (FGrH 753) are otherwise unknown.
[2] Aristophanes, Clouds 11 (web address 1).
[3] A paraphrase of Aristophanes, Clouds 10 (also under web address 1).
