ον,

   A born or begotten of gold, γενεά, i.e. the Persians, because (by the legend) they were descended from Perseus, who was begotten of Zeus in the form of a shower of gold, A.Pers.79 (lyr., Sch., -νόμου cod.M); of Perseus, Orph.L.551.

[Seite 1380] vom Golde geboren, erzeugt, vom Golde stammend, aus Gold entstanden; γενεὰ χρ. heißen die Perser bei Aesch. Pers. 79 (v. l. χρυσόνομος), weil sie von Perseus stammen sollten, den Danae von Zeus in der Gestalt eines goldenen Regens empfangen hatte.
