Adler number: epsilon,2656
Translated headword: on this side
Vetting Status: high

[Meaning] the hither [land].[1] "[He] establishing all the [land] on this side of the rivers [as] inaccessible to the barbarians."[2]
Greek Original:
*)epita/de: th\n e)/nqen. pa=san th\n e)pita/de tw=n potamw=n toi=s barba/rois a)/baton katasth/sas.
Notes:
No equivalent entry in other lexica. The headword phrase (sometimes spelled as two words: e)pi\ ta/de) is the opposite of epsilon 2037. It is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
[1] This glossing phrase is in the feminine accusative singular. As in the quotation itself, the implicit feminine noun is gh=n, xw/ran, or suchlike.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable in this form, but perhaps [WH] a loose paraphrase or summary of Arrian, Anabasis 2.17.4 (Alexander the Great tells his troops at Tyre in 332 BCE that, once Egypt has been invaded and captured, the Persians will be cut off from 'all the Persians' sea and all the land on this side of the Euphrates', th\n e)pi\ ta/de tou= *Eufra/tou gh=n). In any event, both Polybios and Arrian are fond of using the headword as a geographical descriptor.
