Headword:
Anarpastoi
Adler number: alpha,2054
Translated headword: non-initiates
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] the uninitiated, for whom there have been no rites or orgies.
Greek Original:Anarpastoi: hoi amuêtoi, hois teletai kai orgia ouk egenonto.
Note:
The transmitted headword
a)na/rpastoi, a nominative plural, does occur (in e.g.
Theophrastus,
De pietate fr. 3) but is nevertheless incorrect here. It should be
a)norgi/astoi, which
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon gives as the headword to the present gloss; and that in turn is presumably generated by the accusative plural in [
Plato],
Epinomis 985D.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; philosophy; religion
