Headword:
*paiw=nas
Adler number: pi,881
Translated headword: paeans
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] physicians. And [it can also mean] shouts.

Greek Original:*paiw=nas: i)atrou/s. kai\ a)lalagmou/s. kai\ paiwni/zein, to\ a)lala/zein.
Notes:
The headword is accusative plural of the noun
paiw/n, which can refer to hymnic paeans, to the healing god Paean and, poetically, to his human counterparts, the physicians (hence the first gloss). Here it has evidently been extracted from somewhere -- perhaps
Plato,
Symposium 179A, where the
scholia have similar material.
