Headword:
*(ra/
Adler number: rho,1
Translated headword: so
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Instead of
dh/ ["indeed"].
Plato [sc. uses the particle] this way.[1]
Greek Original:*(ra/: a)nti\ tou= dh/. ou(/tws *pla/twn.
Notes:
Same entry in
Photius (rho14 Theodoridis); and cf.
Hesychius rho1, who glosses
w(s r(a/ with
w(s dh/.
The enclitic particle
r(a/ "is found in Epic and also in lyric poets and the lyrics of tragedy" (Denniston 32, under
a)/ra).
[1] Adler notes, without comment, the suggestion of S.A. Naber that this gloss should refer to
Plato the comic poet (
pi 1708), not his namesake the philosopher (
pi 1707,
pi 1709). Theodoridis documents the matter more fully, noting the suggestion of Kassel-Austin at their
Plato Comicus fr. 301; they cite
Plato,
Republic 3.386D (a quotation of
Homer,
Iliad 23.103).
