Adler number: epsilon,3696
Translated headword: strait; Euripos, Euripus

Greek Original:*eu)/ripos: pe/lagos steno/n, h)\ to/pos u(datw/dhs metacu\ du/o gaiw=n. toute/sti *boiwti/as kai\ *)attikh=s. e(pta/kis de\ th=s h(me/ras to\ e)kei=se u(/dwr tre/petai.
Notes:
[1] Likewise in other lexica.
[2] A slip, as Boiotia and Attica share only a land-frontier; read "Boiotia and Euboia". This secondary gloss merely provides an example of a
eu)/ripos so well-known that it became, in effect, the
Euripos.
[3] Often said but probably not to be taken literally. See D. Whitehead (ed.),
Hypereides: the forensic speeches (Oxford 2000) 421-3.
