Headword:
*gluku\

pnica/tw
Adler number: gamma,315
Translated headword: honey (is) sweet and let him choke
Vetting Status: high
Translation: While
Terpander was singing and had opened his mouth wide for the song, someone threw a fig into his throat and choked [him].
*gluku\ me/li kai\ pnica/tw: *terpa/ndrou a)/|dontos kai\ kexhno/tos pro\s th\n w)|dh\n, e)mbalw/n tis ei)s to\n fa/rugga su=kon a)pe/pnice.
Notes:
The headword-phrase (also in
Appendix Proverbiorum 1.77, and see generally Tosi [cited under
alpha 378] no.1539) does not make good sense as transmitted; as Adler notes, some Suda mss show attempted corrections, such as "let it be sweet."
For
Terpander, see
tau 354.
