In our lit. simply sword (so also LXX; pseudepigr.; Jos., Bell. 6, 289, Ant. 6, 254; 7, 299;—In Philo [like ApcMos] always of the angel’s flaming sword after Gen 3:24) Lk 21:24 v.l.; Rv 2:16; 6:8; 19:15, 21. ῥ. δίστομος καὶ ὀξεῖα a sharp and double-edged sword Rv 2:12; cp. 1:16. φείδεσθαι τῆς ψυχῆς τινος ἀπὸ ῥ. spare someone’s life from the sword (so that he may die on the cross) B 5:13 (Ps 21:21).

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `string-instrument, ascribed to the Lydians, but also to the Thracians (Alcm., Anacr.); also name of a Lydian flute (Ion. Trag., Anaxandr.).

Derivatives: μαγαδίζω 'play μάγαδις, imitate a μ., i.e. sing a succession of notes in octaves' (Theophil. Com., Arist.), cf. Schwyzer 736. Further μαγάς, - άδος f. `the bridge on a string-instrument' (Ptol., Philostr., H.) with μαγάδιον (pap. I^a, Ptol.).

Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Lyd.

Etymology: Foreign word from unknown, prob. Lydian source. Semitic hypothesis in Lewy Fremdw. 162 f. Fur. 122, 226 supposes that it stands for *μαγδις, comparing πηκτίς, also a Lydian string-instrument, with which it would be identical acc. to Aristox Fr. Hist. 66 and Menaichm. 4 J.

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `small light shield without an edge, mostly made of wattlework, with a cover of leather' (Hdt., Tab. Heracl., Att.).

Dialectal forms: Dor. -ᾱ

Compounds: As 1. member in πελτο-φόρος (X., Plb.), Boeot. - φόρας, - α-φ. = πελταστής.

Derivatives: Dimin. πελτ-ίον (Men.), - ίδιον (sch.), - άριον (Callix., Luc.). Denominative verb πελτάζω `to bear a π.' (X., App.) with πελτ-αστής m. `bearer of a π., peltast, lightly armed man' (Att.), - αστικός `belonging to the p.' (Att.). Or πελταστής from πέλτη (after ἀσπιστής: ἀσπίς) and πελτάζω backformation as prob. in κατα-πελτάζω `to overpower with peltasts (m. πέλτη?)' (Ar. Ach. 160)?

Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably] Thrac.

Etymology: After Hdt. 7, 75 a. o. carried by the Thracians; so perh. a loan. Usu. connected with πέλμα (s. v.), Lat. pellis etc. as t-derivation; semantically no doubt quite possible. The in WP. 2, 58f. and Pok. 803 adduced words with t-suffix are however all for diff. reasons contestable; on Skt. paṭa- m. `woven cloth, garment, cover' s. Mayrhofer s.v. -- Lat. LW [loanword] pelta, peltastae (s. W.-Hofmann s.v.).
