Adler number: kappa,2254
Translated headword: to carouse
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "But Marcus, the general of the Romans, when he was released from the war, wanted to transfer the war to the Lusitanians and (as they say) having escaped the men's quarters to carouse his way into the women's apartments."[1]
And elsewhere: "Apollonius said, 'Let us vote for him to be crowned thus for temperance, and in preference to
Hippolytus son of Theseus: for he [
Hippolytus] treated Aphrodite with insolence, but this man did not. And for this reason he was not overcome by sexual desires, nor did lust carouse its way into him, but he was of the more rustic and stern character.'"[2]
And elsewhere: "What are you preening yourself about, and pretending to be refined?"[3]

Notes:
The headword, aorist active infinitive of
kwma/zw, is presumably extracted from the first quotation given.
For this verb see also
epsilon 548,

Polybius fr. 110, cf.
Polybius 35.2.2; quoted already at
alpha 2196. The general in question was Marcus Claudius Marcellus (consul 152 BCE), and the context is the so-called "Fiery Wars" in the Iberian peninsula of the mid second century BCE.

Philostratus,
Life of Apollonius of Tyana 6.3; cf.
alpha 4330 and especially
tau 598.

Aristophanes,
Wasps 1317. The verb here should be second person singular, present, of
koma/w (with omicron), for which see
kappa 1980,
kappa 1995. The present entry reads
kwma=s (with omega), creating an illusory connection between this quotation and the headword.
