Headword: *(hge/ths
Adler number: eta,48
Translated headword: leader, guide
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the one who leads.[1]
"O guide double chases!"[2]
Greek Original:
*(hge/ths: o( h(gemw/n. w)= dissai\ a)ge/ta qhrosu/nai.
Notes:
[1] Headword and gloss are from the Synagoge (Lexica Segueriana eta248.23). Also in Photius, Lexicon eta31 Theodoridis. Perhaps the origin is a scholion to Plato, Republic 547B where this term, very rare in all periods, occurs (in the accusative case).
[2] (a)ge/ta is the Doric form of the vocative of h)ge/ths.) Quoted from Greek Anthology 6.167.2 (Agathias Scholasticus), but corrupting the original text, which is: w) dissa=s a)ge/ta qhrosu/nas; 'o guide of the double chase'. It is an invocation to an unidentified god, who loves both hunting and fishing, made by Kleonikos, who is both hunter and fisherman. See further excerpts from this epigram at epsilon 1658, kappa 466, and tau 1009.
