[Meaning] most/very reckless(ly).
Greek original · Adler’s text
Προαλέστατον· προπετέστατον.
Betacode
*proale/staton: propete/staton.
Notes
- The headword is superlative of the adjective
proalh/s (see the gloss pi 2493) which literally means sloping forward; masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular. Perhaps used adverbially, though attestations are limited to lexicography (references at Photius pi1174 Theodoridis).
The comparative occurs in Strabo and elsewhere.
