Headword:
*fra/tores
Adler number: phi,694
Translated headword: phratry-members
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [
fra/tores] and
fratri/ai ["phratries"] and
fratri/arxos ["phratriarch"]: a phratry is the third part of the tribe [
fulh/], so he who led this part used to be called phratriarch; he was enrolled among the phratry-members on his father's side at the festival of the Apatouria.[1] But they say that the same race is a
trittu/s, that is the
fratri/a or
fratori/a.[2]
But they call one's relatives
fra/tores. They are those who share in the same
fratri/a, as if of a certain paternal lineage [
patria/].
Homer indeed calls the same [group] also a
pa/trh ["body of persons descended from the same father"]. "Indeed for both [is] the same clan and one family."[3] With a change [of
pi to
phi it becomes]
fa/trh and
fra/trh. The letters have been changed, just as in "Zeus Patrios" and "Phatrios."[4] But they considered being enrolled among the phratry-members [
fra/tores] as a sign of relationship.[5]

Notes:
The term
fra/thr (Ionic
frh/thr) is the Greek cognate of Latin
frater, Sanskrit
bhrātar-, English "brother," etc., but was used to designate a member of a larger kinship group, the "brotherhood" (
fra/tra or
fratri/a). In the various dialects, the second
rho is often dropped by dissimilation.
*fra/twr is a later (according to Herodian) variant of
fra/thr with a different vowel-grade, perhaps extracted from compounds like
a)fra/twr/
a)frh/twr. See Chantraine s.v.
fra/thr for fuller discussion.

Lexicon phi290 Theodoridis. The source of this final sentence, additional to what is found elsewhere (see preceding note), is unidentifiable. The word 'race' is textually shaky; the mss vary between
e)/qnos and
e)/qos; but Theodoridis declares
e)/qnos correct, citing
Pollux 8.111.

*pa/trh,

fra/thr (see LSJ s.v.
