Vetting Status: high

[qe/ristron] and [sc. its variant] qeri/strion: an outer-garment for summer.[1]

Greek Original:
*qe/ristron kai\ *qeri/strion: qerino\n i(ma/tion. ta\ ko/kkou bafqe/nta kai\ u(sti/noio qe/ristra, kai\ tou\s a)ndrolipei=s a)llotri/ous ploka/mous.
Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The first of the variants (transmitted as qe/riston in Photius, Lexicon theta115; Theodoridis obelizes it) occurs in Genesis 24.65 LXX.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.254.3-4 (Myrinos/Myrinus), quoted here with two textual corruptions: u(sti/noio should be u(sgi/noio and a)ndrolipei=s should be nardolipei=s. See also tau 27, upsilon 691. On this epigram, apparently a parody of dedicatory style, wherein an old man dedicates his feminizing accessories to Priapus, see Gow and Page vol. I (288-289); vol. II (320-321); and further excerpts at beta 90, pi 122, tau 1106, and phi 163.
