Headword: *)ampe/xh|
Adler number: alpha,1652
Translated headword: wearing
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Used] with a dative. [Meaning] putting on oneself.[1]
Also [sc. attested is] a)mpe/xh| ["you are wearing"], meaning you have put on. "O wretch, are you then wearing white?"[2] Since, he is saying, he has lost his oxen and is [sc. nevertheless] dressed in white.[3]
Greek Original:
*)ampexo/menos: dotikh=|. periballo/menos. kai\ *)ampe/xh|, a)nti\ tou= peribe/blhsai. w)= kako/daimon, ei)=ta leuko\n a)mpe/xh|; e)pei/, fhsi/, tou\s bo/as a)pw/lesas kai\ leuxeimonei=s.
Notes:
The SOL text wrongly shows the supplementary headword a)pe/xh|, not the primary one a)mpexo/menos.
For the verb a)mpe/xw cf. eta 362.
[1] The headword, which has the same glossing in other lexica and is evidently quoted from somewhere (there are numerous possibilities), is present middle participle, masculine nominative singular.
[2] Aristophanes, Acharnians 1024 (loosely quoted): web address 1.
[3] From the scholia on the line just quoted. Having had his pair of oxen stolen by Boiotians, Derketes ought to be wearing the black of mourning, not the white of festivals.
