Adler number: epsilon,1618
Translated headword: the blower gave out (and) the lead gave out
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A blower [is] both the instrument into which the one using it blows and the person handling the instrument. They burn lead along with the silver, so that as it burns together it evaporates and takes up the impurity into itself.[1]
Greek Original:*)ece/lipe fushth/r, e)ce/lipe mo/libdos: fushth\r kai\ to\ o)/rganon, w(=| e)mfusa=| o( xrw/menos, kai\ o( a)/nqrwpos o( to\ o)/rganon metaxeirizo/menos. sugkai/ousi de\ tw=| a)rgu/rw| mo/libdon, i(/na sugkaio/menos a)nima=tai kai\ a)nalamba/nh| ei)s au)to\n to\ no/qon.
Notes:
The headword phrase is a light abridgment of
Jeremiah 6:29
LXX (omitting the phrase
a)po\ puro/s from the first clause); it is frequently quoted by church fathers including Gregory of Nazianzus PG 35.948.35, from the
scholia to which the body of the entry is derived.
For the verb here,
e)klei/pw, cf.
epsilon 464,
epsilon 465.
[1] Silver was (and is) regularly separated from its context, silver-bearing lead ore, by such a process.
