Adler number: alpha,974
Translated headword: pure, sheer
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] not-death-showing,[1] as if [to say] unharmed; for kh/r [is] death.[2]

Greek Original:*)akraifnou=s: a)khrofanou=s, oi(onei\ a)blabou=s: kh\r ga\r o( qa/natos. e)k peni/hs [w(s oi)=sqa] a)kraifne/os, a)lla\ dikai/hs, *ku/pri tau=ta de/xeu dw=ra. e)n *)epigra/mmasin.
Notes:
The headword is genitive singular of the adjective
a)kraifnh/s, extracted from
Thucydides: see n. 2 below. (It also appears in the quotation given, in the uncontracted form
a)kraifne/os. LSJ entry at web address 1.
[1] Here and in other lexica (references at
Photius alpha833 Theodoridis, second part) an otherwise-unattested
a)khrofanou=s is given as the etymon of
a)kraifnou=s, surely incorrectly. See further, next note.
[2] If we strip out
a)khrofanou=s and its etymological addendum, this gloss is the same as the one in the
scholia to
Thucydides 1.19.1, from where the headword has evidently been extracted.
[3] Aphrodite, born in the sea-foam off
Cyprus; cf.
kappa 2738.
[4]
Greek Anthology 6.191.1-2 (Cornelius
Longus), a dedication to Aphrodite by
Leonidas; cf. Page (67-69) and another excerpt from this epigram at
delta 1549. This epigram is modeled after
Greek Anthology 6.300 (
Leonidas of
Tarentum; cf.
alpha 2388,
pi 1568,
upsilon 570, and
psi 35) as is
Greek Anthology 6.190 (
Gaetulicus; cf.
alpha 1234,
alphaiota 392,
kappa 2665,
pi 969,
sigma 958, and
psi 35).
