Headword: *)aph/strayen
Adler number: alpha,3185
Translated headword: flashed forth
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] shone forth.
Greek Original:
*)aph/strayen: a)pe/lamyen.
Note:
No equivalent entry in other lexica. The headword is aorist active, third person singular, of a)pastra/ptw (used of lightning etc.). It must be quoted from somewhere -- perhaps Plutarch's On the Fortune of the Romans (Moralia 323C): the head of the child Servius Tullius, the future king, 'flashed forth very like the gleam of lightning'.
