Headword: *)/aozoi
Adler number: alpha,2841
Translated headword: attendants
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] many-branched,[1] those burning many timbers; that is, cooks.[2]
Greek Original:
*)/aozoi: polu/ozoi, polla\ cu/la kai/ontes: h)/goun oi( ma/geiroi.
Notes:
The headword is nominative plural.
[1] A false connection is made here between the headword -- for which see Aeschylus, Agamemnon 231 (dative plural), and next note -- and this adjective. (Seemingly, the headword has been misunderstood as the adjective no-branched, which has generated its opposite.)
[2] For cooks in this connection see Hesychius s.v., citing Callimachus fr. 563.
