Headword: *)epiba/ths
Adler number: epsilon,2231
Translated headword: marine
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
This is what they used to call those in military service in the triremes who were not there to man an oar but[1] to be ready to fight.
Greek Original:
*)epiba/ths: ou(/tws e)ka/loun tou\s e)n tai=s trih/resi strateuome/nous kai\ mh\ kwphlatou=ntas me/n, e)pithdei/ous de\ pro\s to\ ma/xesqai.
Notes:
See already epsilon 2230 (and further epsilon 2518, nu 52, nu 80, pi 1203, sigma 795). The present, fuller entry derives from Harpokration s.v., commenting on [Demosthenes] 50.10 (and going on to quote Aristophanes fr. 80 Kock = 82 K-A).
[1] Harpok. has 'but solely'.
