Headword: *)embalo/nta
Adler number: epsilon,935
Translated headword: had directed
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"While he was still a child, he threw a stone at and killed his teacher Linus, who had directed blows at him in the classroom; [Heracles] was vexed and unwilling to take orders".
Greek Original:
*)embalo/nta: o( de\ pai=s w)\n e)/ti, to\n dida/skalon *li=non plhga\s au)tw=| e)mbalo/nta e)n th=| didaskali/a| dusanasxeth/sas kai\ ou)k e)qe/lwn a)/rxesqai li/qw| balw\n a)pe/kteinen.
Notes:
The headword, evidently extracted from the quotation given, is the aorist active participle, masculine accusative singular, of the verb e)mba/llw (cf. epsilon 934, epsilon 936).
As to the quotation itself, Adler suggested Nicolaus of Damascus, and see now Favuzzi (cited under delta 404). Compare also Pausanias 9.29.9: Heracles kills his music teacher Linus the son of Ismenias; cf. lambda 568.
Keywords: dialects, grammar, and etymology; historiography; mythology
