Headword:
*)orgew=nas
Adler number: omicron,512
Translated headword: cult-members
Vetting Status: high
Translation: There is a speech of
Isaeus to cult-members.[1] Cult-members [
o)rgew=nes] are those coming together to honor gods or heroes; for [the verb]
o)rgia/zein is sacrificing and seeing[2] the customary acts - either from stretching out [
o)re/gein] the hands or from the secret rites [
o)/rgia,[3] or because the ceremonies are performed in
o)rga/des[4] and groves. Perhaps the custom of giving the same name to people gathered together to honor some of the dead and to cult-members arose later, as can be seen from the will of
Theophrastus.
"One of the orgeones from
Eleusis", says
Aelian in
On Forethought.[5]

pro\s ... ('In reply to ...').
[2] So the transmitted text,
o(ra=n; but change to
dra=n, "performing" (as in Harpok.). On
