Headword: *(edra/nwn
Adler number: epsilon,265
Translated headword: of seats
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] of thrones.[1] Sophocles [writes]: "but lord of seats, where you sit in a long pause."[2]
And in the Epigrams: "and the anchor, support of unsteady ships."[3] ['Support'] meaning foundation.
Greek Original:
*(edra/nwn: qro/nwn. *sofoklh=s: a)ll' a)/nac e(dra/nwn, o(/pou makrai/wni sthri/zh| sxolh=|. kai\ e)n *)epigra/mmasi: nhw=n q' e(/dranon a)staqe/wn a)/gkuran. a)nti\ tou= e(/drasma.
Notes:
[1] The headword (presumably extracted from the first quotation given) is genitive plural of e(/dranon, a poetic form of e(/dra.
[2] Sophocles, Ajax 194-5 (web address 1), with scholion. Read a)/na e)c "arise from" instead of a)/nac "lord." Correctly at alpha 1795.
[3] Greek Anthology 6.28.6-7 (Julian, prefect of Egypt), a retiring fisherman's dedication to Hermes. See further excerpts from this epigram at alpha 2652, gamma 456, iota 336, and iota 755.
