τοὺς γὰρ Ἴωνας λέγειν φασὶ την κωλῆν ὥρην καὶ ὡραίαν

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: Uncertain; of πόδες of Scylla (μ 89), also in opposition to the ὀπίσθιοι πόδες (Philem. 145).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Scholia H and Q = ἄκωλοι; " τοὺς γὰρ Ἴωνας λέγειν φασὶ την κωλῆν ὥρην καὶ ὡραίαν" (Sch. μ 89). In SIG 1037 (Miletos IV-III^a) ὥρη is apart of the sacrificial animal, but different from κωλῆ. Bechtel (s. Lex.) translates `Beine, die keine Waden haben' (?); his comparison with Lat. sūra (s. W.-Hofmann s. v.) seems impossible. vW. proposes to understand ἄωροι (H.) i.e. `wakeful'. The meaning in Philem. may be artificial.
