Equ. 198, in einem wunderlichen Orakel; 221 ein Gott der Dummheit; vgl. Ath. V, 220 b; Spottname von Kimons Großvater, Plut. Cim. 4. – Hesych. führt noch κόαλοι, βάρβαροι an.

(Κοινῶς παραγόμενον ἐκ τοῦ κοέω καὶ ἠλέματος ἢ ἠλεός, mente captus, Σοφ. εἰς Ἀριστοφ. Ἱππ. 198, Τιμ. Λεξ., Σουΐδ., κτλ.).

ανόητος, ηλίθιος, βλάκας.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Αβέβαιης ετυμολ. Πρόκειται μάλλον για λ. ξεν. προελεύσεως. Κατ' άλλη άποψη, προέρχεται από θ. κο- (προϊόν ονοματοποιίας) + κατάλ. -άλεμος, σκοτεινής προελεύσεως, πού μαρτυρείται επίσης στη λ. ι-άλεμος].
