[Meaning] pure.
*peri/esi: kaqara/.
=
Photius pi677 Theodoridis, the only other attestation of this headword. The
Synagoge offers the alternative
pe/risi, likewise unattested elsewhere. Perhaps [WH] a misspelling (and misunderstanding) of the word
peri/essi ("you surpass") at
Homer,
Odyssey 18.248, where the phrase
peri/essi gunaikw=n (used by Eurymachus to, and about, Penelope) may have been taken to mean "pure among women", rather than "you surpass women".
Theodoridis (above) obelizes both the headword and the glossing word, as transmitted, and supports Toup's suggestion that the first should be
peri/stia and the second
kaqa/rsia; cf. under
pi 1306.
