Greek display:    
Headword: *)epixeile/s
Adler number: epsilon,2768
Translated headword: rim-full
Vetting Status: high

This is the term for a measure which is not filled but falling short. Aristophanes [writes]: "[Themistocles] made our city full, having found it [sc. merely] rim-full."
Greek Original:
*)epixeile/s: ou(/tw le/getai me/tron to\ mh\ plh=res, a)ll' a)poleipo/menon. *)aristofa/nhs: th\n po/lin h(mw=n mesth\n e)poi/hsen eu(rw\n e)pixeilh=.
Notes:
The Aristophanic quotation has been given more fully at alpha 2737.
The present entry's headword, neuter nominative-accusative singular of this adjective -- and glossed accordingly (cf. already Hesychius epsilon5426, glossing to\ e)llipe/s, and Pollux 5.133) -- must be quoted from somewhere else. An extant possibility is Synesius, Dion 14.
Keywords: biography; comedy; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; food; history; imagery; politics; rhetoric; trade and manufacture
