Translation

[Meaning] public.¹
Rites that are at public cost [dhmotelh=] and those of the demes [dhmotika/] used to differ from each other and from those of cult-organizations and clans.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Δημοτελῆ· δημοσίαν. Δημοτελῆ καὶ δημοτικὰ ἱερὰ διέφερον ἀλλήλων καὶ τῶν ὀργεονικῶν καὶ τῶν γενικῶν.

Betacode

*dhmotelh=: dhmosi/an. *dhmotelh= kai\ dhmotika\ i(era\ die/feron a)llh/lwn kai\ tw=n o)rgeonikw=n kai\ tw=n genikw=n.

Notes (2)

cf. delta 464.
1This gloss (and hence, presumably the headword, though it is morphologically ambiguous) is feminine accusative singular (apparently presupposing a noun such as qusi/a, 'sacrifice', or e(orth/, 'festival'). ↩
2From Harpokration s.v., citing Dinarchus fr. XVIII.3 Conomis.
