Headword:
*traxi/n
Adler number: tau,922
Translated headword: Trachis, Trachin
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Genitive] Trachinos, name of a city.[1] Also [sc. attested is the term] 'in Trachiniai' [Women of Trachis].[2]
Greek Original:*traxi/n, *traxi=nos: o)/noma po/lews. kai\ *traxini/ais.
Notes:
[1] At the foot of Mt Oita in central Greece was an ancient city called Trachis, and the headword of the present entry perhaps presents this in the accusative case. It may, however, be a nominative, and, if so, the lesser-known Trachin further south, in Phokis (
Strabo 9.3.14, etc.)
[2] i.e. in the play of this name by
Sophocles; cf.
epsilon 1153,
pi 2046.
