Headword:
*lampadeu/esqai
Adler number: lambda,113
Translated headword: to act as a torch-bearer
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "So Aristogenes,[1] an initiate of Dionysus, as he was about to act as a torch-bearer, then went limp[2] in the right-hand portions [sc. of his body]."[3]
Greek Original:*lampadeu/esqai: *)aristoge/nhs ou)=n, *dionu/sou mu/sths, lampadeu/esqai me/llwn, ei)=ta me/ntoi ta\ decia\ parei/qh me/rh.
Notes:
[1] 'Aristoph(anes)' in ms V, Adler reports. The otherwise transmitted (and preferred) 'Aristogenes' is quite a common name (cf.
alpha 3910,
alpha 3911) and cannot be reliably identified with any homonym in the prosopographical lexica.
[2] The operative verb 'went limp' is glossed at
pi 587 as 'was paralyzed',
parelu/qh. The medical phenomenon is recognizably that of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (web address 1).
[3]
Aelian fr. 284 Domingo-Forasté (286 Hercher). For the discrepancy in the final noun, see the note at
pi 587.
