Notes:
The headword is perfect middle/passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of
porpa/w. It is otherwise unattested; the quotation given here contains a compound form of the participle
e)mpeporphme/nous ("pinned up in"), i.e. masculine accusative plural.
For the noun
po/rph, see
pi 2091.
[1] For this phrase cf. under
Hesychius sigma3034.
[2]
Lycurgus,
Against Leocrates 40. The point being made is that, after the defeat at
Chaironeia (338 BCE), even old men were dressing as if for combat.
