Headword:
*kera/meion
Adler number: kappa,1358
Translated headword: jar, pot
Vetting Status: high

Also [sc. attested is the phrase] 'pottery vessels'.[2]
Greek Original:*kera/meion: a)ggei=on. to\ de\ ku/rion *kera/mion, dia\ tou= i, ei) mh\ pro/skeitai to\ a)ggei=on. kai\ *kera/meia teu/xh.
Notes:
The
Etymologicum Gudianum glosses
kera/meion simply as "earthen vessel, or jar".
[1] The spelling distinction the Suda attempts is ignored by modern editors; LSJ in fact lists "jar" under
kera/mion, and the Suda's is the only attested instance of the proper name spelled with iota. The stem was routinely spelled both ways in the manuscript tradition. The proper name is presumably the Ceramic Gulf, a.k.a. Gulf of
Keramos, in
Karia; accusative
*kera/meion ko/lpon in
Xenophon,
Hellenica 2.1.15.
[2] Phrase also used in
tau 432. This may be an interpolation (the phrase is missing from ms F = Laurentianus 55.1), and is probably a cross reference in this entry. The phrase is spelled differently in other attested instances:
Oribasius,
Eclogae medicamentorum (as
keramiai/w| teu/xei);
Pollux 10.30 as an illustration of adjectives (
teu=xos kerameou=n gh/i+non xutrei=on xalkou=n);
Nicander,
Theriaca 80 (with
scholia)
teu=xos keramh/i+on.
