Translation
Meaning I am struck by lightening, I am outside of my wits; [sc. the word comes] either from thunder, or from the cudgels brought down upon Typhon, or from the winds called typhoon-like, which of course themselves break off and disperse what is crowded together. For Alcaeus, too, says: "wrapped altogether in smoke [e)tu/fws' ], he was taken from his wits."1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Τετύφωμαι· ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐμβεβρόντημαι, ἔξω τῶν φρενῶν γέγονα· ἤτοι ἀπὸ τῆς βροντῆς, ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπὶ τὸν Τυφῶνα καταφερομένων σκηπτῶν, ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν τυφωνικῶν καλουμένων πνευμάτων, ἃ δὴ καὶ αὐτὰ ἐξίστησιν ἀθρόως καταρραγέντα. καὶ γὰρ Ἀλκαῖός φησι· πάμπαν δ' ἐτύφωσ', ἐκ δ' ἐλέγετο φρένας.

Notes (1)
- For the headword see already tau 421. The present entry (also in Photius) follows Harpocration's entry on it, but omits the crucial opening reference: Demosthenes 18.11 (where D. says that he is not in such a state).
