Headword:
*)elegei/nein
Adler number: epsilon,772
Translated headword: to be angry
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Some of the ancients [say that this means] to be out of one's mind, and some think that the elegiac meter is named from this, because
Theocles of
Naxos or
Eretria first cried out [in] it when he was mad.
*)elegei/nein: to\ parafronei=n tines tw=n palaiw=n, kai\ to\ e)legei=on me/tron a)po\ tou/tou klhqh=nai/ tines nomi/zousin, o(/ti *qeoklh=s *na/cios h)\ *)eretrieu\s prw=tos au)to\ a)nefqe/gcato manei/s.
Notes:
Same entry in other lexica, though there the Suda's headword verb
e)legei/nein is
e)legai/nein.
(On the elegiac meter, see
epsilon 773 and
epsilon 774.)
Theocles has no Suda entry of his own, and indeed is unknown outside these lexica.
