Greek display:    

Headword: *perihgge/lqh to\ a)/qeon pro/stagma
Adler number: pi,1151
Translated headword: the godless command was passed on
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
But perihgge/lh [sc. would be] more Attic.[1]
Greek Original:
*perihgge/lqh to\ a)/qeon pro/stagma: *)attikw/teron de\ to\ perihgge/lh.
Notes:
Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss AFV, and a marginal addition (to pi 1167) in ms A.
The headword phrase was not identified by Adler but is identifiable via the TLG as an abridgment of one in Gregory of Nyssa, Life of Gregory the Miracle Worker (PG 46.944), which has the only other attestation of the form perihgge/lqh ("was passed down"); but see further, next note.
[1] At issue here are two versions of the aorist indicative passive, third person singular, of periagge/llw (cf. pi 1150). In general, aorist passive forms of the verb -aggel- lacking the characteristic theta (like perihgge/lh) are very rarely found prior to the Septuagint and are probably hypercorrect archaisms rather than genuine classical Attic forms. In particular, this form is only slightly better-attested than the one that appears in the headword phrase, and all attestations of it come from the imperial or Byzantine periods. One of the attestations comes in another close approximation to the headword phrase: Basil of Caesarea PG 31.509.
