γ197

Γέρης

Gerês

Name of a pauper and a bald man, of the tribe of the Chaonians. He was mocked for effeminacy. And Aristophanes [writes]: "who is a friend to you other than Gerês?" It is not from the [word] gêras ["old age"].

Γέρης· ὄνομα πένητος καὶ φαλακροῦ, ἔθνους Χαόνων. διεβάλετο δὲ εἰς μαλακίαν. καὶ Ἀριστοφάνης· σοὶ δὲ φίλος τίς ἐστιν ἄλλος ἢ Γέρης; οὐκ ἔστι δὲ παρὰ τὸ γῆρας.
