Headword: *parousi/a
Adler number: pi,707
Translated headword: resource, presence
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
This is the term used in reference to an abundance of available things; as it is in Plato's Phaedo: "as we are now in terms of resource."[1] It is frequent in this sense in them [i.e. Attic authors]. But it is also applied in reference to being present, as it is in Sophocles' Bathing-Scene: "the presence of those who are near."[2] Thucydides in [book] 1 [writes]: "for, having captured Byzantium on his earlier presence, [...]."[3] For 'absence' signifies the opposite of this.

Notes:
= Aelius Dionysius pi23 and Photius pi449 Theodoridis, but with one important departure: see n. 1 below. Cf. pi 706.
[1] An erroneous attribution: Aelius Dionysius and Photius ascribe the line to the Phaon of Plato the comic playwright = fr. 177 Kock (194 K.-A.).
[2] Sophocles fr. 451a Radt.
[3] Thucydides 1.128.5 (on Regent Pausanias of Sparta).
