Headword: *)elogopoi/oun
Adler number: epsilon,889
Translated headword: they were making words
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] they were laying out arguments to one another. "They were making words directed against one another, pontificating and boasting that in many respects seizure of the place would benefit these men."[1]
Greek Original:
*)elogopoi/oun: pro\s a)llh/lous lo/gous dieti/qento. oi( de\ e)s a)llh/lous e)logopoi/oun terateuo/menoi/ te kai\ kompa/zontes w(s ei)s polla\ ga\r tou= to/pou kata/lhyis tou/tous o)nh/sei.
Notes:
The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
For the verb cf. lambda 657.
[1] Valckenaer attributed this to Aelian, but otherwise the quotation is unidentified. Its second part appears again in a slightly different (and probably more accurate) form at tau 328.
