Headword: *)/efudros
Adler number: epsilon,3972
Translated headword: moist, rainy, wet
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning someone/something] bringing water.[1]
[Applied?] to wet divers.[2] "Having stretched underwater chains across the mouth of the harbour."[3]
Greek Original:
*)/efudros: u(/dwr e)pa/gwn. kolumbhtai=s e)fu/drois. u(fu/drous de\ a(lu/seis diatei/nas dia\ tou= sto/matos tou= lime/nos.
Notes:
[1] The headword adjective e)/fudros has the same or similar glossing in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and also in the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 14.458, where it characterizes the west wind. However, the rest of the entry confuses e)/fudros (LSJ entry at web address 1) with u(/fudros, 'underwater' (upsilon 742): see notes below.
[2] A reference to the underwater divers in Thucydides 4.26.8, on Pylos (web address 2), but here with the wrong adjective; cf. again upsilon 742.
[3] Cassius Dio 51.9.4, which describes how Cornelius Gallus trapped Antony’s ships in a harbour. (Here the adjective is the right one, though wrong in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras.)
