Headword: Anôthen
Adler number: alpha,2585
Translated headword: from above
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] out of a place or a time. Babrios [sc. uses the word].[1] "Why, though we look upon the sensible birds above who take care for the sustenance of those of whom they were begotten and from whom they found advantage, do we not pay these [debts] equally?" [2] That is, "above" meaning by nature, or those things up in the air.
Greek Original:
Anôthen: ek topou ê chronou. Babrios. ti tous anôthen phronimôtatous oiônous esorômenoi trophês kêdomenous aph' hôn te blastôsin aph' hôn t' onêsin heurôsi, tad' ouk episês teloumen; toutestin anôthen ek phuseôs ê tous en tôi aeri.
Notes:
[1] Perhaps a citation from Babrius has been lost from the Suda (so Gaisford), although this adverb does not occur in his text as we know it. Three of the manuscripts, in any case, have 'Sophocles' here; see next note.
[2] Sophocles, Electra 1058-1062 (web address 1), with comment from the scholia there.
