Headword: *desmoi\ *turrhnoi/
Adler number: delta,273
Translated headword: Etruscan chains, Etruscan fetters
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The sort they used to use at that time to make prisoners miserable.

*desmoi\ *turrhnoi/: oi(=s e)xrw=nto kat' e)kei=no kairou= ei)s ta\s tw=n desmwtw=n kakouxi/as.
Notes:
The headword phrase has a slightly different adjective in Hesychius, whose (mysterious) gloss is 'the ones [the] Athenians used'. Proverbial in Apostolius 5.97, with the same glossing as here. In Appendix Proverbiorum 1.96 a second sentence of explanation is added: 'applied to those fettered inescapably'.
For the Etruscans see generally tau 837, tau 1195.
