Headword: Atêmelia
Adler number: alpha,4352
Translated headword: neglect
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] disregard, lack of attention.
Agathias [writes]: "for the long walls had fallen in many places on account of time and neglect, and the structure of the greatest defensive wall[1] had been destroyed."[2]
Also [sc. attested is the related adjective] a)thmelh/tous ["them neglected"], [meaning them] unconsidered, shown too little attention.[3]
Greek Original:
Atêmelia: hê kataphronêsis, hê ameleia. Agathias: ta gar makra teichê pollachou hupo chronou kai atêmelias epeptôkei, kai dieleluto hê tou megistou hermatos oikodomia. kai Atêmelêtous, apronoêtous, lian êmelêmenous.
Notes:
[1] Reading e)/ruma (Agathias: see next note) rather than e(/rma (here).
[2] An approximation of Agathias, Histories 5.13.
[3] This accusative plural must be quoted from somewhere -- very probably (despite the masculine glossing) Aeschylus, Agamemnon 891; see the scholia there (with h)melhme/nas).
Keywords: architecture; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; historiography; history; military affairs; tragedy
