Headword: *sunta/cas
Adler number: sigma,1621
Translated headword: having given instructions
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he] having specified. "[...] having given instructions to the helmsmen to bring back the ships as best they could into Elaia".[1]
Greek Original:
*sunta/cas: o(ri/sas. sunta/cas toi=s kubernh/tais a)nakomi/zein ta\s nau=s kata\ du/namin ei)s th\n *)elai/an.
Notes:
In this entry and the immediately following one the headword is the aorist active participle (masculine nominative singular) of sunta/ssw, extracted from a quotation given. In sigma 1622 the source is explicitly Polybius, and the same has been assumed here too.
[1] Polybius fr. 228 B-W. There were several places called Elaia; the one in question here is probably the Attalids' port and naval base for Pergamum (Barrington Altas map 56 grid E4).
