Greek display:    

Headword: *ai)su/fhlos
Adler number: alphaiota,345
Translated headword: aisuphelos
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] one who is cowardly.
Greek Original:
*ai)su/fhlos: o( deilo/s.
Note:
Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. Otherwise unattested in this form (and Adler notes no ms variants), but Hesychius has ai)su/fios, glossed as deino/s, yeudh/s, a)patew/n; see also Theognostus, Canones 16.6. In fact, as Dr. Nick Nicholas suggests to us, it may be a variant of, or mistake for, the epic word a)su/fhlos: see alpha 4292.
Keywords: definition; epic; ethics
