Headword: *perisfu/rion
Adler number: pi,1316
Translated headword: anklet
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"[...] and this lance-headed double-gate, and the anklet".
Greek Original:
*perisfu/rion: kai\ to\ diqu/reon tou=to to\ logxwto\n kai\ to\ perisfu/rion.
Note:
Greek Anthology 6.172.1-2 (author unknown) -- which has di/qurson, "double-thyrsus", not the present entry's diqu/reon; cf. Page (326-328). See already at lambda 665; also alpha 2220, delta 1033. Find further extracts from this epigram, a Bacchante's dedication to Dionysus, at eta 415 and nu 125. As Page notes (327), an anklet is not at all typical of the items with which Bacchantes adorn themselves.
