ἀράντισιν

Ancient Macedonian edit

Etymology edit

Unknown. Apparently equivalent to Ancient Greek ἐρινύσι (erinúsi), according to Hesychius of Alexandria.

Rocca (2017) compares this word with an epithet of Ceres, found in an Oscan curse-table: 𐌀𐌓𐌄𐌍𐌕𐌉𐌊𐌀 (arentika).[1]

Noun edit

ἀράντισιν (arántisin) (dative plural)

  1. (hapax) to the Erinyes

Usage notes edit

  • Only attested as a hapax in Hesychius:
    • 5th century CE, Hesychius Alexandreus, Συναγωγὴ Πασῶν Λέξεων κατὰ Στοιχεῖον Α:
      ἀράντισιν· ἐρινύσι. Μακεδόνες
