Adler number: alpha,4590
Translated headword: from Hearth, from Hestia

Greek Original:*)af' *(esti/as: a)po\ th=s oi)ki/as. kai\ *)af' *(esti/as muei=sqai. a)f' *(esti/as muou/menos *)aqhnai=os h)=n.
Notes:
Hestia was the goddess of the hearth, and her name also means 'hearth'.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica, and cf. also the
scholia to
Plato,
Euthyphro 3A, where the headword phrase occurs.
[2] This part of the entry is (over-)abridged from Harpokration s.v., where
Isaeus fr. 84 Sauppe is cited for the phrase, and 'fully' [
pa/ntws] is part of the explanation.
For initiation (sc. in the Eleusinian Mysteries) see
mu 1385,
mu 1386,
mu 1422, and cf.
epsilon 2845.
