Headword: kai\ *pthtika\ zw=|a
Adler number: pi,3026
Translated headword: would fly
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] (?)flies.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] 'wingy animals', [meaning] the flying ones.[2]
Greek Original:
*pth=tai: pe/tetai. kai\ *pthtika\ zw=|a, ta\ peto/mena.
Notes:
NB: the SOL headword is, wrongly, the supplementary one of the entry; it ought to be pth=tai (on which see next note).
[1] = Synagoge pi760, Photius pi1475 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius pi4225. From commentary on Homer, Iliad 15.170, where pth=tai occurs (its only attestation outside commentary and lexicography) in a meteorological image. The headword pth=tai is subjunctive -- registered under LSJ s.v. pe/tomai, the present glossing verb -- and Theodoridis notes with sympathy the view of Lobeck and Dindorf that the gloss, transmitted as pe/tetai, ought actually to be pe/thtai.
[2] Phrase probably quoted from Aristotle or Theophrastus (though 'animals' is usually left implicit). Addendum lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF.
