Translated headword: Pylai-men, Pylae-men
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Those who neither say nor do anything sound; [sc. so named] because of the attendance of men of this kind at the aforementioned place.
Greek Original:*pulaista/tous: tou\s mhde\n u(gie\s mh/te le/gontas mh/te pra/ssontas: dia\ to\ paragene/sqai toiou/tous tina\s a)nqrw/pous ei)s to\n proeirhme/non to/pon.
Notes:
The headword, an accusative plural (presumably quoted from somewhere), is transmitted as
pulaista/tous here and (with the same gloss) in
Photius pi1533 Theodoridis;
Hesychius pi4341, correctly, has
pulaiasta/s (with the gloss 'liars'). LSJ s.v. glosses the word as '
buffoons, mountebanks, such as flocked to Pylae and
Delphi during the Amphictionic assembly'.
For Pylai/Pylae see
pi 3161.
