Translation
[Meaning] of him who closes the gates securely. Also [sc. attested is the form] pula/rtao , [used] likewise.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Πυλάρτου· τοῦ τὰς πύλας ἰσχυρῶς ἐπαρτῶντος. καὶ Πυλάρταο, ὁμοίως.
Betacode
*pula/rtou: tou= ta\s pu/las i)sxurw=s e)partw=ntos. kai\ *pula/rtao, o(moi/ws.
Notes
- The two forms given are genitive singulars. The primary headword one is unattested in this genitive outside lexicography, but epic
pula/rtao occurs three times in Homer (Iliad 8.367 & 13.415, Odyssey 11.277), always in reference to *the* gate-keeper par excellence, Hades.
