*)hgale/h: h( qerapeutikh/.
An Ambrosian entry: according to Adler, identically in Ambrosianus 35 (though Laurentianus f187 has
qerapnh/ 'woman servant', which could be a faulty transcription of the gloss
qerapeutikh/).
The entry as it stands is problematic. The headword is an adjective which occurs in the feminine form in a fragment ascribed to
Callimachus, in reference to a pitcher; probably with the meaning 'broken in pieces' (so LSJ s.v.). It seems to be attested in the masculine or neuter form in
Hesychius eta27:
kolobo/n. kateago/s. koi=lon. eu)/qlaston; 'truncated, broken in pieces, hollow, easily bruised'. Since these meanings are difficult to combine with the present gloss
qerapeutikh/, the interpretation of ps.-
Zonaras eta973.12 may be preferable:
h)galle/h, from
a)ga/llw 'I pay honour' (cf.
eta 30).
