Greek original · Adler’s text

Betacode

Notes
- The second element here,
petehno/s , is an epic and poetic variant of the first,peteino/s ; other variants arepethno/s andpthno/s (see LSJ s.v.).
If eitherpeteino/n (well-attested in the Septuagint and elsewhere) orpetehno/n -- masculine accusative singulars or neuter nominative/accusative singulars -- are quoted from somewhere, their source is unidentifiable. Note, however, that Hesychius has an entry for the genitive pluralpetehnw=n , glossed withpeteinw=n . (It is quoted from Homer, Odyssey 13.87; see the scholia there.)
