πλημυρίς
Κινδυνεύουσι γὰρ ὅσοι τυγχάνουσιν ὀρθῶς ἁπτόμενοι φιλοσοφίας λεληθέναι τοὺς ἄλλους ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο αὐτοὶ ἐπιτηδεύουσιν ἢ ἀποθνῄσκειν τε καὶ τεθνάναι → Actually, the rest of us probably haven't realized that those who manage to pursue philosophy as it should be pursued are practicing nothing else but dying and being dead (Socrates via Plato, Phaedo 64a.5)
English (LSJ)
ίδος, ἡ,
A rise of the sea, as at flood-tide, πλημῠρὶς ἐκ πόντοιο of the wave caused by the rock thrown by the Cyclops, Od.9.486; flood-tide, opp. ἄμπωτις (ebb), π. τῆς θαλάσσης μεγάλη Hdt.8.129; π. πόντου B.Fr.30; ἡ ἔξω π. Arist.Mete.366a20, cf. Str.3.3.7 (pl.), S.E.M.9.79 (pl.). 2 generally, flood, deluge, Arist.Mu.397a28 (pl.); of tears, σταγόνες . . δυσχίμου πλημῡρίδος A. Ch.186; ὀφθαλμοτέγκτῳ δεύεται πλημῡρίδι E.Alc.184. 3 redundance, congestion of the fluids of the body, Hp.Acut.62. [ῠ Hom. l.c., and prob. in B.l.c.; ῡ Trag., but ῠ in later Ep., cf. A.R.4.1269, 1241: in πλήμυρα, πλημυρέω, πλημύρω, ῡ always.] (The spelling πλημμ- in this word and its cognates commonly found in codd. arises from the false etymology from πλήν, μύρομαι; the correct spelling is found in B.5.107, POxy.1409.17, OGI666.8 (v. πλημύρω), etc., and good Mss. of Hp.Acut.62, AP5.203 (Mel.), cf.
