Headword:
*gra/fw
Adler number: gamma,443
Translated headword: I write
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [When it means] I send a letter, [it is used] with a dative. One should note that 'I write' in its different meanings entails a different syntax too. If it is 'I write to you',[1] it means basically I send a letter to you; but if it is 'I write you',[2] it means I make a likeness of you -- as in "those writing shapes and letters".[3] But if [it is] 'I write you up',[4] it means I make written accusations against you, I expose [you] before the courts;[5] as in "I am writing you up for murders and illegalities before Rhadamanthys."[6]

Notes:
This entry, Adler reports, is lacking in mss FV and placed after
alpha 438 in ms A.
[1] With the verb governing the dative.
[2] With the verb governing the accusative.
[3] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as Gregory of Nazianzus,
De filio 11.
[4] With the verb in the middle voice (rather than the active) and governing the accusative.
[5] (For this legal/judicial sense see also
gamma 445, and cf.
gamma 439,
gamma 440,
gamma 441,
gamma 442.) Up to this point the Suda follows a source that is also followed in
Etymologicum Magnum 240.31,
Anecdota Oxoniensia 2.354.22,
Lexicon Vindobonense 8.22. For what follows cf.
Lexicon Syntacticum Gudianum p. 589.
[6] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of Lucian,
Cataplus 18 (which has future
gra/yomai and mentions only the 'illegalities'). For Rhadamanthys, one of the judges in the Underworld; cf.
theta 41,
lambda 93,
rho 12,
rho 13,
chi 284.
