TeócritoAbstract
In Theocritus XXIV 98 ??????? ???? (Thcrt. XXIV 98) does not mean «water averting harm» nor «clean water». The adjective retains the Homeric sense of ??????; ????????, «hinder», «stop». Therefore in Theocritus' above mentioned passage its meaning is «not stagnant». In rites of purification, such as the one prescribed here by the seer Tiresias, running water had to be use.
