Papyrus Egerton 2:
[.....]W [K]ATAKLEISAN[TOS WS] UPOTETAKTA[I] ADHLWS
[PWS GIN]ETAI TO BAROS AUTOU ASTATO[N ESTIN]?
What do you think does "ASTATO[N]" mean here?
In Josephus' the meaning is "uncertainty". In Aristotle it means "never at
rest".
Is the following allowed?
It is derived from hISTHMI, with an "A-" = not standing. Thus "so heavy that
it cannot stand anymore"?
What's your translation?
Best wishes
Wieland
