Perhaps they term a placer the man who has deposited a pledge, not, as Didymos [says], the man adopting a child. For "placed" is what they used to call adoptive sons.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Θέτης· μήποτε θέτην λέγουσι τὸν ὑποθήκην τεθεικότα, οὐχ ὡς ὁ Δίδυμος τὸν εἰσποιησάμενον. θετοὺς γὰρ ἔλεγον τοὺς ποιητούς.

Notes

  1. Slightly expanded -- by the addition of 'a pledge' -- from Harpokration s.v. (where already the reason for this semi-polemical entry has become obscured).
    Perhaps generated by the instance of the headword in Isaeus 10.24.
    cf. theta 264, theta 295.
