Headword: *monandrei=
Adler number: mu,1213
Translated headword: has one husband, is monogamous
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"In the olden days the women of Egyptians did not know [how] to be monogamous."[1]
Greek Original:
*monandrei=. ou)k h)/|deisan *ai)gupti/wn ai( gunai=kes to\ palaio\n monandrei=n.
Notes:
The verb monandre/w appears only in the context of this narrative. (The unglossed headword itself is transmitted as indicative monandrei= and so translated here; one might suspect, nonetheless, that it should be monandrei=n.) There also exists a feminine noun, monandri/a, and an adjective, mo/nandros.
