Adler number: tau,1212

Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] tempestuous[?]. "Wax-clad torch, reed-mace lamp of Kronos, bound with rush and delicate papyrus."[1]

Notes:
The headword adjective, accusative singular, is presumably extracted from the quotation. For reed mace,
Typha angustata, see generally LSJ s.v., citing
Theophrastus,
Strabo and Diocurides. The import of its glossing here is not clear.
