Headword: *peridei=n
Adler number: pi,1096
Translated headword: to tie around
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] to bind around, to attach around. Xenophon [writes]: "he instructs [them] to tie sacks around the hooves of the horses and the dray animals, when they are going through snow, so that they do not sink."[1]
Greek Original:
*peridei=n: peridesmei=n, peria/ptein. *cenofw=n: o( de\ dida/skei peri\ tou\s po/das tw=n i(/ppwn kai\ tw=n u(pozugi/wn sakki/a peridei=n, o(/tan dia\ th=s xio/nos a)/gwsi, dia\ to\ mh\ katadu/esqai.
Notes:
The headword is the present infinitive of peride/w, ostensibly extracted from the quotation given -- but see next note.
[1] An approximation of Xenophon, Anabasis 4.5.36, where (inter alia) the headword appears as a variant reading for perieilei=n ("to wrap around"). See the scholia to the passage, and Lexicon Vindobonense pi33.
