βίλλος
From LSJ
οὐ μακαριεῖς τὸν γέροντα, καθ' ὅσον γηράσκων τελευτᾷ, ἀλλ' εἰ τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς συμπεπλήρωται· ἕνεκα γὰρ χρόνου πάντες ἐσμὲν ἄωροι → do not count happy the old man who dies in old age, unless he is full of goods; in fact we are all unripe in regards to time
English (LSJ)
v. βιλλίν, Hdn. Gr. 1.158.
French (Bailly abrégé)
c. βαλλίον.
Spanish (DGE)
τὸ ἀνδρεῖον αἰδοῖον Hdn.Gr.1.158.
Frisk Etymological English
Meaning: τὸ ἀνδρεῖον μόριον τὸ κοινῶς βιλλίν (Hdn. I, 158).
Other forms: Also βιλλᾶς ib.
Derivatives: PN Βίλλος, -αρος (L. Robert, Noms indigènes 16-22).
Etymology: Fur. 325 compares ἀβίλλιον ἀνδρεῖον H. The proth. vowel may point to Pre-Gr. origin, which is a priori to be expected. βιλλίν is Ephesian; if the form is a nom., cf. the Pre-Gr. words in -ν (Beekes, Pre-Greek).
