Headword: *)=hsqa
Adler number: eta,586
Translated headword: you were
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[h)=sqa means the same as] h)=s, [i.e.] you existed.[1]
"For you were responsive to [my] prayers, then propitious for [my] travels."[2]
Greek Original:
*)=hsqa: h)=s, u(ph=rxes. h)=sqa ga\r eu)xwlh=|si kath/koos, e)/nqa keleu/qois i(/laos.
Notes:
[1] The headword is imperfect of ei)mi/, second person singular. (For the alternative form see eta 568.) Same entry in Hesychius eta884, where Latte claims the headword as quoted from Homer, Iliad 5.898.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.199.3-4 (Antiphilus of Byzantium), which has h)=sqa a second time instead of the Suda's e)/nqa. On this epigram, wherein the poet dedicates his hat to the Goddess of the Road, see Gow and Page vol. I (100-101), vol. II (127-128), and further excerpts at omicron 685 and pi 1598.
