Headword: Agêlatoi
Adler number: alpha,216
Translated headword: curse-expelling
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[A term applicable to] thunderbolts.[1]
But a)ghlatoi= [is] a verb,[2] [meaning he/she/it] leads, thunderbolts[3] or pursues.
Greek Original:
Agêlatoi: hoi keraunoi. Agêlatoi de rhêma, agei, keraunoi ê diôkei.
Notes:
[1] The headword is masculine/feminine nominative plural of this adjective, presumably quoted from somewhere. For the sense, LSJ s.v. cite the phrase a)ghla/tw| ma/stigi (i.e. a purifying lightning-strike) in Lycophron, Alexandra 436.
[2] And differently accented, as if from a contracted verb a)ghlatou=n; but LSJ has only a)ghlatei=n.
[3] Textual corruption here: a (plural) noun amidst (singular) verbs. Perhaps it has been carelessly repeated from the first part of the entry.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; poetry; religion; science and technology; tragedy
