[Meaning] exemption from military service.[1] But strictly speaking [it means] rest.
Adoratia: hê astrateia. kuriôs de hê argia.
The headword, attested only here and in ps.-
Zonaras (though Adler cites a comparable entry in the
Ambrosian Lexicon), literally means "spearlessness", from
do/ru, "spear": see
delta 1394, and cf.
delta 1378 for the diminutive
dora/tion. Some cognates, like the verb
dorati/zomai and the noun
doratismo/s, retain the literal connection with spears; this one is looser.
[1] cf.
alpha 4254.
