Adler number: alpha,3756
Translated headword: painful for someone of sound mind to say many things to the senseless
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A saying of
Euripides in
Bacchae.[1]
Also [sc. attested is]
a)rgale/on ["painful"], [meaning] difficult.[2] It is said from
a)/lgos ["pain"],
a)lgale/on with a change of lambda into rho.[3]
Something difficult was called "work" [
e)/rgon] by the ancients. From this derives
e)rgale/on, and by an alteration [it became
a)rgale/on]; just as
a)pu/w ["I call upon"] from
e)/pw ["I say"], [meaning] I speak. Then
a)rgale/on [comes to mean] troublesome, difficult.[4]
Also [sc. attested is]
a)rgale/ws ["painfully"], the adverb.[5] And
a)rgalew/teron ["more/rather painful"].[6]

Notes:
[1] Not so. Rather, the first, hexameter half (line 625) of a gnomic couplet of
Theognis; registered as proverbial by
Diogenianus (2.90) and other paroemiographers.
[2] From the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 4.471, where
a)rgale/on occurs.
[3] Lejeune (below) 151 accepts this etymology, as an instance of dissimilation of liquids.
[4] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Wealth [Plutus] 1, where the phrase
a)rgale/on pra=gma occurs.
[5] Perhaps quoted, again, from
Theognis (1.1091).
[6] Probably quoted from
Homer,
Odyssey 4.698.
