Headword: *frwgei=n
Adler number: phi,736
Translated headword: phrogein
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] to fence[1] in Attic.[2]
Greek Original:
*frwgei=n: fra/ttein *)attikw=s.
Notes:
[1] The headword verb is attested only here. Adler reports that mss GM put it after phi 744, as alphabetical order would require; also that ms V reads frwtei=n. But Hesychius (phi1081) and other lexica have fw/gein as a headword, glossed with fru/gein "to parch, to roast." David Ruhnken (1723-1798) suggested reading fw/gein as the headword here, and fru/ttein (a later variant of fru/gein) as the gloss; Bernhardy would make the gloss either fru/ttein or fru/gein. See further at Photius phi327 Theodoridis.
[2] Adler notes that 'Pierson' [the Dutch scholar Johann Pierson, 1731-1759] suggested that "in Attic" belongs to phi 744.
