Translation

[Meaning something] on the left.¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Εὐώνυμον· τὸ ἀριστερόν.

Betacode

*eu)w/numon: to\ a)ristero/n.

Notes (1)

Euphemistic adjective (here in the neuter nominative/accusative singular, evidently quoted from somewhere: see n.1 below), "because to a Greek augur, looking northward, the unlucky signs came from the left" (LSJ).
For the 'well-named' (left) wing of an army in battle-order see delta 1304, pi 315, etc.
On words for 'left," see also lambda 174, lambda 193.
1Same glossing in Hesychius, where Latte claims the headword itelf as quoted from the New Testament (Acts 21.3, a sea voyage passing Cyprus on the left).
