Translation
"Where on earth has he/she/it fled?"1 Meaning to what sort of land, in Attic.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ποῦ γῆς· ποῦ γῆς πέφευγεν; ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰς ποίαν γῆν, Ἀττικῶς.
Betacode
*pou= gh=s: pou= gh=s pe/feugen; a)nti\ tou= ei)s poi/an gh=n, *)attikw=s.
Notes
- The headword phrase itself,
pou= gh=s , glossed at the end of the entry, is copiously attested from the fifth century onwards (Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Menander, et al.). As to the longer phrase proffered in the body of the entry, Adler tentatively identified it as a fragment of tragedy; and it is now Tragica adespota fr. 564b Kannicht-Snell.
