Adler number: epsilon,3371
Translated headword: flowery tongue
Vetting Status: high

"Conversation highly Atticized and full of many charms and scented with musical harmonies."

Note:
The headword phrase occurs in a literal sense -- "(sc. abnormally) bright tongue" -- in the Hippocratic Epidemiae 2.3.11. Nevertheless the present phrase, also in Photius (unglossed), is apparently figurative, at any rate to judge by the phrase (seemingly itself a quotation) used to gloss it here. Bernhardy attributed the gloss to Synesius or Damascius; Adler suggests a scholion on Gregory of Nazianzus.
