Notes (2)
- The transmitted headword
parapenqei=s , attested only here, is a faulty transcription ofparatenei=s (you will stretch out alongside, stretch out on the rack, inflict torture), the future indicative active, second person singular, of the verbparatei/nw ; see generally LSJ s.v. and cf. other forms of this verb at pi 461 and pi 463. Other lexica correctly transmitparatenei=s (see next notes), and, as Adler comments in her critical apparatus, this correction would restore the lemma's alphabetical order.
The (correct) headwordparatenei=s must be quoted from somewhere; there are surviving instances in Menander (Samia 421 and 544), Philostratus and Plotinus. - 1This gloss is the future indicative active, second person singular, of the verb
a)po/llumi , I lose, destroy; see generally LSJ s.v. Same gloss elsewhere: Hesychius pi704; Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon pi999a21; Photius, Lexicon pi317 Theodoridis. [Adler notes that ms V transmitsa)peilei=s (you threaten, menace) and ms M insertsparatenqei/s , an otherwise unattested form, above the lemma.] ↩ - 2The verb form is the same, but from
parelku/w (alsopare/lkw ), I draw along, out; see generally LSJ s.v. The aforementioned entries in Timaeus and Photius transmit this same gloss as well. ↩
