Headword: *lu/kou deka/s
Adler number: lambda,820
Translated headword: Lykos' ten-company, Lycus' ten-company

A proverbial phrase. [Used] because Lykos the hero had a shrine near the jurycourts [sc. in Athens], where the blackmailers would lie in wait. Three obols a day was set apart for him.[1]
Greek Original:

Notes:
Likewise in Photius lambda457 Theodoridis (from Pausanias the Atticist) and similarly in Zenobius 5.2 and other paroemiographers. Better, however, is Photius lambda456 Theodoridis, quoting Eratosthenes (via Harpokration delta13 Keaney); see under delta 174.
See also eta 271.
[1] Meaning unclear; presumably connected with tau 998, but see rather the note above.
Keywords: architecture; daily life; economics; ethics; history; law; proverbs; religion
