Headword: Halôton
Adler number: alpha,1404
Translated headword: attainable, capturable
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] that which is capable of being taken.

And Euripides [writes]: "may I never be caught doing bad things."[3]
Greek Original:
Halôton: to lêphthênai dunamenon. pan to zêtoumenon, halôton: ekpheugei de tameloumenon. kai Halôtoi: lêptoi, cheirôtoi. kai Euripidês: ou mê poth' halô kaka prassôn.
Notes:
The neuter singular headword is presumably extracted from the first quotation given.
[1] Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 110-111 (which does not have "everything").
[2] This nominative plural has the same glossing in other lexica. It is evidently quoted from somewhere -- probably Thucydides 6.77.2 (a phrase quoted by Dionysius of Halicarnassus in his study of that writer).
[3] Euripides fr. 918 Nauck; cf. pi 40.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; historiography; military affairs; rhetoric; tragedy
