Headword:
*zugomaxei=n
Adler number: zeta,186
Translated headword: to battle the yoke
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [sc. The term comes] from those selling at a station and being at variance towards those buying. But others [sc. derive it] from the beasts of burden or oxen or horses or suchlike not working harmoniously. Hesiod [writes]: "and get two male oxen of nine years, for their strength is not feeble [...] The pair of them would not fight [in the furrow]."[1] But
Herodotos [says that] the phrase can be from those pairs on the ships, whenever the rowers are at variance with regard to their seats.[2]
Look for pillar of the yoke-bearer under 'basilica'.[3]

zeta 185. The bulk of the present entry is the same or similar in other lexica.
[1] Hesiod,
Works and Days 436-9, here abridged.
[2] Nothing like this is extant in
Herodotus, so the name must be an error. Adler notes the suggestions 'Herodianos' (Peter Wesseling) and 'Herodoros' (Henricus
Stephanus, a.k.a. Henri Étienne).

beta 157 (where no mention of this pillar is found, unless the elephant-statue is meant).
