Adler number: alpha,3464
Translated headword: from a spear
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[It was] Homer [who] said "from a spear".
Greek Original:
*)apo\ custou=: o( de\ *(/omhros a)po\ custou= ei)=pen.
Note:
Homer does not use the phrase a)po\ custou=. But this is surely an error for the phrase ou)dou= a)po\ cestou=, "from a polished threshold", which occurs twice in the Odyssey (18.33 and 22.72); cf. generally xi 56.
