συμπαρανεκρώμενος
καλῶς γέ μου τὸν υἱὸν ὦ Στιλβωνίδη εὑρὼν ἀπιόντ' ἀπὸ γυμνασίου λελουμένον οὐκ ἔκυσας, οὐ προσεῖπας, οὐ προσηγάγου, οὐκ ὠρχιπέδισας, ὢν ἐμοὶ πατρικὸς φίλος → Ah! Is this well done, Stilbonides? You met my son coming from the bath after the gymnasium and you neither spoke to him, nor kissed him, nor took him with you, nor ever once felt his balls. Would anyone call you an old friend of mine?
English
companion in death. συμπαρανεκρώμενοι = fellowship of the dead, club of the dead, fellows of the dead. As found in the work of Kierkegaard; nothing in ancient Greek texts resembles that apart perhaps from ὁμόνεκρος in Lucian:
3.1.1 {ΚΡΟΙΣΟΣ} Οὐ φέρομεν, ὦ Πλούτων, Μένιππον τουτονὶ τὸν κύνα παροικοῦντα· ὥστε ἢ ἐκεῖνόν ποι κατάστησον ἢ ἡμεῖς μετοικήσομεν εἰς ἕτερον τόπον.
3.1.3 {ΠΛΟΥΤΩΝ} Τί δ' ὑμᾶς δεινὸν ἐργάζεται ὁμόνεκρος ὤν;[1]
Turn your attention then, dear Symparanekromenoi, to this inner picture; do not allow yourselves to be distracted by the external appearance, or rather, do not yourselves summon the external before you, for it shall be my task constantly to draw it aside, in order to afford you a better view of the inner picture. (Kierkegaard, Either/Or Part I, Swenson, p. 171)
