Headword:
*perisfu/rion
Adler number: pi,1316
Translated headword: anklet
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "[...] and this lance-headed double-gate, and the anklet".
Greek Original:*perisfu/rion: kai\ to\ diqu/reon tou=to to\ logxwto\n kai\ to\ perisfu/rion.
Note:
Greek Anthology 6.172.1-2 (author unknown) -- which has
di/qurson, "double-thyrsus", not the present entry's
diqu/reon; cf. Page (326-328). See already at
lambda 665; also
alpha 2220,
delta 1033. Find further extracts from this epigram, a Bacchante's dedication to Dionysus, at
eta 415 and
nu 125. As Page notes (327), an anklet is not at all typical of the items with which Bacchantes adorn themselves.
