Headword: *ku/rbasis
Adler number: kappa,2742
Translated headword: cap
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Some [equate it with the] tiara,[1] which the Persians' kings wear upright, but the generals bent over. Also a kind of headgear, and [a kind of] pilos.
Greek Original:
*ku/rbasis: e)/nioi me\n tia/ra, h(=| oi( me\n basilei=s tw=n *persw=n o)rqh=| e)xrw=nto, oi( de\ strathgoi\ e)pikeklime/nh|. kai\ perikefalai/as ei)=dos, kai\ pi/lou.
Notes:
Likewise or similarly in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa1232 Theodoridis. The material comes in part from the scholia to Aristophanes, Birds 487 (see already under kappa 2741) and in part from glosses on Herodotus 7.64 (web address 1). See also under kappa 2744 and pi 1602. The word is probably of Persian origin: see bibliography.
[1] The particle me/n in most of the manuscripts suggests a 'some...others...' construction (though ms M omits it).
