See also Etymologicum Magnum 330.49-52, where the gloss "to be still" is attributed to a 'Tarantinos' (perhaps Heraclides of Taras/Tarentum, a commentator on Hippocrates). The word is frequently used in medical writers, including Galen, in the sense of therapeutic "rest". See also Hesychius epsilon2095, Etymologicum Gudianum epsilon457.
