Headword: *boadro/mos
Adler number: beta,355

Vetting Status: high

[Meaning] one aiding.
"Thus for the sake of Ambracia the one runnning to help raised his shield and chose to die rather than to flee."[1]
Greek Original:
*boadro/mos: o( bohqo/s. w(=d' u(pe\r *)ambraki/as o( boadro/mos a)spi/d' a)ei/ras teqna/men h)\ feu/gein h)/qelen.
Notes:
The headword is a Doric dialect version of bohdro/mos (cf. beta 356, beta 357), as in the quotation given, but here alphabetized as if it were spelled with the eta. (Manuscript M, Adler reports, places the entry earlier, after beta 348.)
