Greek display:    

Headword: *)eca/rcantes
Adler number: epsilon,1561
Translated headword: having begun
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning they] having broken out [sc. into music]; having struck [sc. a chord with a plectrum], having played the first note.
Greek Original:
*)eca/rcantes: e)krh/cantes, krou/santes.
Notes:
Aorist active participle, masculine nominative plural, of the verb e)ca/rxw (cf. epsilon 1562, epsilon 1568). Evidently quoted from somewhere, where -- as the glosses show -- it has the musical sense (perhaps with a genitive following?) noted in LSJ s.v.
cf. ps.-Zonaras epsilon766 (with gloss prokata/rcantes) and Lexica Segueriana 223.20 (with the same gloss as the Suda).
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; meter and music
