Translation: [Meaning] the ones reciting the works of

Notes:
cf. generally
rho 67,
rho 68,
rho 69,
rho 70. The material of the present entry is similar to that in the
scholia to
Plato,
Ion 530A, where the headword occurs.
[1] For this etymology cf. LSJ s.v.
r(a/bdos, para.6. An alternative and more common one connects the rhapsodes with the verb
r(a/ptein (
rho 47, and see LSJ s.v.
r(aywdo/s).
