Headword:
*(/enh
Adler number: epsilon,1297
Translated headword: old
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Attic speakers used
e(/nh ["old"] superfluously, like [the participle] "having" [in the phrase] "having full".[1] But some say that the [word]
du/o ["two"] is missing. In enquiring he is saying, "one or two?"
Aristophanes in
Acharnians [writes]: "have you already, being gray-haired, grown old?"

Notes:
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 610 (web address 1), with scholion. The end of this line, as transmitted, is textually corrupt in the mss of
Aristophanes:
e(/nh and
e(\n h)\ ('one or') are two different readings.
[1] The analogy is spoiled by textual corruption. It should be: like [the participle]
e)/xwn [in the idiom]
lhrei=s e)/xwn ['keep on talking nonsense', where 'talking nonsense' alone would suffice]. See generally LSJ s.v.
e)/xw, B.III.2.
