Translation

Thus Pan is called, either because he aided the Athenians in the sea-battle,¹ or because he hunted Typhon with nets,² or because seamen honor Pan as an established god, or because [he is] loud-voiced in the dance, roaring like the sea, or because he is in love with Echo; the sea [is] noisy. Pan is a patron of dances.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἁλίπλαγκτος· οὕτως καλεῖται ὁ Πάν, ἢ ὅτι ἐβοήθησε τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις ἐν τῇ ναυμαχίᾳ, ἢ ὅτι τὸν Τυφῶνα δικτύοις ἤγρευσεν, ἢ ὅτι οἱ ἁλιεῖς τιμῶσι τὸν Πᾶνα ὡς νόμιον θεόν, ἢ ὅτι μεγαλόφωνος ἐν τῇ χορείᾳ, ὡς ἁλίβρομος, ἢ ὅτι τῆς Ἠχοῦς ἐρᾷ· πολύηχος δὲ ἡ θάλασσα. ἔστι δὲ ὁ Πὰν χορῶν πρόξενος.

Notes (2)

The headword occurs in Sophocles, Ajax 695, and these explanations are provided by scholiasts thereto.
On the god Pan, see generally pi 147, and OCD(4) s.v. (p.1072).
1Salamis (480 BCE), evidently. ↩
2Typhon: see OCD(4) s.v. (p.1522).
