Search results for pi,1660 in Adler number:
Greek display:    
Headword: *pittako/s
Adler number: pi,1660
Translated headword: Pittakos, Pittacus
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"I will leave young men to foolish Pittalakos."[1]
Greek Original:
*pittako/s. kallei/yw de\ ne/ous a)/froni *pittala/kw|.
Notes:
The unglossed headword is mistakenly repeated from pi 1659 (q.v.); it should have been Pittalakos/Pittalacus, the individual mentioned in the quotation. His name had evidently become a byword for pederasty since Aeschines' prosecution of Demosthenes' associate Timarchos in 346/5.
For Pittalakos see under tau 595.
[1] Greek Anthology 5.278.6 (Agathias Scholasticus).
