They say ['bright' day], not pure [one].

Greek original · Adler’s text

Λαμπρὰν ἡμέραν λέγουσιν, οὐ καθαράν.

Betacode
*lampra\n h(me/ran le/gousin, ou) kaqara/n. 

Notes

  1. A correction in someone's usage, here quoted. (For the contiguity of the two terms cf. under epsilon 3361.) The case of the headword phrase is accusative singular (of the base introduced in lambda 94).
    See also Orus Grammaticus frg. 89.1; Photius, Lexicon lambda71 Theodoridis. The objectionable 'pure', kaqara/n, occurs in Eusebius, Suppl.. v. 22.985, 41.
