[1] Likewise in other lexica; references at
Photius pi406, where however Theodoridis prints the headword as
parqe/nios. ['Well-born' is the paradosis, but a dubious one; cf.
sigma 676 (end), where the more appropriate
gegonw/s is used instead of
gennai=os 'well-born' (LSJ at web address 1). Adler notes that ms M reads
gennhqei/s, supported by Porson; and Theodoridis contemplates
gennw/menos.] The gloss perhaps refers to the name for the founders of Taras/
Tarentum (in southern Italy, cf.
tau 112 and
tau 113), the Partheniae (web address 2), children of unions unrecognized by Spartan law between noble Spartiate mothers and Helot fathers during the Messenian Wars (
Aristotle,
Politics 1306b29;
Strabo 6.3.2). But see
pi 666 for two similar uses of
parqe/nios in
Athens for the children of non-citizens. See also
upsilon 576.
[2] This phrase, not identified by Adler, is spoken by Andromache in
Euripides,
Troades 676:
prw=tos to\ parqe/neion e)zeu/cw le/xos.
