Headword: *tetrw/bolon
Adler number: tau,413
Translated headword: four-obol
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
That is, of high value. Thus they describe something that costs four obols, is on sale for four obols.
Greek Original:
*tetrw/bolon: toute/sti poluti/mhton. ou(/tw de\ le/gousi to\ tetrwboliai=on, toute/sti tetrwbo/lou pwlou/menon.
Note:
From the scholia to Aristophanes, Peace 254, where the headword occurs (of Attic honey). There, as again here, it is transmitted as nominative/accusative singular, but editors (and LSJ s.v.) note Kuster's suggested emendation in Aristophanes to genitive of price, tetrwbo/lou.
