Headword:
*ke/lhres
Adler number: kappa,1299
Translated headword: dinghies, yachts
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "He was the first to go beyond with the long ships; but with god bringing on the darkness,[1] the dinghies began to seek the light".
Greek Original:*ke/lhres: o( me\n e)/fqh u(perbh=nai tai=s makrai=s nausi/n: oi( de\ ke/lhres, tou= qeou= suskota/zontos, e)pezh/toun to\ fw=s.
Notes:
The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is a noun in the nominative plural. Transmitted thus, as
ke/lhres, it is otherwise unattested; it is surely a corruption of
ke/lhtes (cf.
kappa 1301,
kappa 1303).
Quotation (and individual featured in it) unidentifiable; Adler suggested
Aelian.
[1]
Polybius, Appian and
Plutarch all share this idiom.
