Adler number: alpha,557
Translated headword: non-working
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] idle,[1] non-functioning.
In the Epigrams: "tired from trembling old age [Daphnis the piper] with his non-working hand dedicates this staff [to Pan]."[2]
Greek Original:
Aergêlê: argê, apraktos. en Epigrammasi: tromerôi gêraï kamnôn cheiros aergêlas anethêke korunan.
Notes:
Same entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is feminine nominative singular of the epic/poetic adjective a)erghlo/s, perhaps (though not demonstrably) generated by the feminine genitive singular a)erghla=s in the quotation given.
[1] cf. Hesychius' glossing of a)erghlo/n with a)rgo/n.
[2] An abbreviation of Greek Anthology 6.73.1-3 (Makedonios); cf. Madden (183-185). See another extract from this epigram at sigma 466.
