Headword: *)epeiou= deilo/teros
Adler number: epsilon,2131
Translated headword: more cowardly than Epeios
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
So said Cratinus the writer of comedy,[1] perhaps because [this man] had served as taxiarch[2] of the Oineid tribe and had shown himself as rather cowardly. For Epeios was certainly a coward.
Greek Original:
*)epeiou= deilo/teros: ou(/tws e)le/geto *krati=nos o( kwmiko/s, i)/sws dia\ to\ taciarxh=sai th=s *oi)nhi/+dos fulh=s kai\ deilo/tero/s te fanh=nai. kai\ ga\r o( *)epeio\s deilo\s h)=n.
Notes:
Zenobius 3.81; Photius, Lexicon epsilon1401 Theodoridis. Despite the confident assertions here, there is no other evidence for the existence of this Epeios, and Athenian prosopography ignores him.
[1] Cratinus fr. 460 Kock (testimonium 15 Kassel-Austin) = Comica adespota fr. 31 Kock, now 952 K.-A.
[2] This aorist infinitive reappears as tau 92. For taxiarchs see generally tau 93. In the present instance they are Athenian, commanders of the ten tribal regiments.
