Headword:
*(/elea
Adler number: epsilon,769
Translated headword: Helos
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [The name for] the cities founded on marshes.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the ethnikon] *(elea/ths, [meaning] he who comes from the city [of this kind].[2]
Greek Original:*(/elea: ta\s po/leis ta\s i(drume/nas e)f' e(/lesi. kai\ *(elea/ths, o( a)po\ th=s po/lews.
Notes:
[1] The neuter headword is actually in the plural,
*(/elea, but any given city would of course be singular;
Stephanus of
Byzantium s.v. gives (with this etymology) the instance of Helos in Laconia. For
e(/los "marsh" see
epsilon 900.
[2]
*(elea/ths, with the rough breathing, is attested only here. This adjunct to the entry looks like a repetition, with altered aspirate, of what
epsilon 768 has said about Elea.
