Headword:
*purseu/ei
Adler number: pi,3247
Translated headword: beacons
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning he/she/it] kindles a fire.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] "I beacon salvation to you,"[2] meaning I reveal and I kindle and I show what is finest from on high, like some beacon and fire-signaling on high showing the way to salvation for those hurrying into a harbor and anchorage. 'Fire-signaling' is the activity itself of showing, while 'beacon' and 'signal-fire' and 'fire-signal' are the thing shown itself, while the one who shows and engages in the activity is the 'fire-signaler'. The verb [is] fruktwrei= ['he/she/it fire-signals'), whence the participle [is] fruktwrw=n ['he fire-signaling'].[3]

Notes:
[1] =
Synagoge pi815 and
Photius,
Lexicon pi1573; cf.
Hesychius pi4468. The headword is taken to be quoted from
Proverbs 16.28
LXX.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable, but cf. Gregory of Nazianzus PG 35.988.5. The metaphor also appears in other Christian writers, though the comments here suggest a different context.
[3] The transmitted
fruktwrei= here, though not queried by Adler, should surely be the infinitive
fruktwrei=n. For both this and the present participle
fruktwrw=n (in
Dinarchus) see Harpokration phi129 Keaney.
