Headword:
*)arxai+ko/n
Adler number: alpha,4070
Translated headword: archaic
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "Since they understood the simplicity and archaic [nature] of Spyridon's share of piety and moreover his utter ignorance of Greek education, they used to prevent him from going out in public and contending with the sophist at an assembly."[1]
For [his was] an old and archaizing style of speaking,[2] simple and unadorned.[3]
Greek Original:*)arxai+ko/n: oi( de\ tou= me/rous th=s eu)sebei/as to\ a(plou=n tw=| *spuri/dwni kai\ a)rxai+ko\n suneido/tes, prose/ti de\ kai\ to\ th=s *(ellhnikh=s paidei/as kaqarw=s a)/geuston, e)kw/luon ei)s me/son e)lqei=n kai\ tw=| sofisth=| sumbalei=n e)pi\ suno/dou. palaio\s ga/r tis kai\ a)rxai/+zwn lo/gos, a(plou=s kai\ a)poi/kilos.
Notes:
The headword adjective, neuter accusative singular, is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
[1] From Symeon Metaphrastes'
Lives of the Saints (PG 116, 433a). For Spyridon see also
sigma 976.
[2] Cf. [John Chrysostom],
On St. Peter's chains 41.1
[3] This phrase appears in other lexica, in discussions of the alpha privative relating to the adjective
a)ke/raios.
