Headword: *para/llacon
Adler number: pi,379
Translated headword: pass by
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] come alongside.[1]
"For the incremental passing-by allows everything in nature to overcome changes, as in the case of the seasons of the year."[2]
Greek Original:
*para/llacon: pa/relqe. h( ga\r kata\ mikro\n para/llacis pa=san poiei= fu/sin u(perfe/rein ta\s metabola/s, w(s e)pi\ tw=n w(rw=n tou= e)niautou=.
Notes:
[1] = Synagoge; Photius, Lexicon pi266 Theodoridis. Taken to derive from commentary on Proverbs 4:15 LXX, where the headword occurs. (The headword is an aorist active imperative verb, as is the gloss.) The quotation which follows here contains not this verb but a related noun (translated here as "passing-by").
[2] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of Xenophon, Cyropaedia 6.2.29. (The first clause is reproduced accurately, save for the substitution of u(perfe/rein ('overcome') for Xenophon's u(pofe/rein ('tolerate'); the second radically abridges the original.)
