Οὕτως γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν Υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς Αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ᾽ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον → For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

ἐριθάκη: ἡ, ἡ τροφὴ τῶν μελισσῶν, ἣν πλὴν τοῦ μέλιτος παρασκευάζουσι πρὸς ἰδίαν χρῆσιν· εἶναι δὲ στερεωτέρα τοῦ μέλιτος καὶ οὐχὶ ὅσον αὐτὸ ῥευστή· δὲν πρέπει δὲ νὰ συγχέηται πρὸς τὴν κηρήθραν, ἥτις ὠνομάζετο παρὰ τοῖς ἀρχαίοις μελίκηρον, Ἀριστ. π. τὰ Ζ. Ἱστ. 5. 22, 9, πρβλ. 9. 40· ἡ ἐριθάκη καλεῖται προσέτι κήρινθος καὶ σανδαράχη. - Πρβλ. Ἡσύχ.

Greek Monolingual

ἐριθάκη, ἡ (Α)
ουσία που παράγεται από τις μέλισσες για τη δική τους τροφή, διαφορετική από το μέλι.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Η λ. συνδέεται πιθ. με τον τ. έριθος. Σημασιολογικά παρουσιάζει πρόβλημα, διότι δεν είναι σαφές αν σημαίνει μόνο την τροφή τών μελισσών ή και την ουσία που παρασκευάζουν οι μέλισσες για να καλύπτουν τις τρύπες τών κυψελών τους].

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: bee-bread (a kind of wax) (Arist. Varr. Plin.); Hesychius comments: ἡ ὑπὸ τῶν μελισσῶν παρατιθεμένη τροφή καὶ τὸ ἐγκοίλιον τῶν ἰχθύων τῶν μαλακῶν καὶ τὰ τῶν ὑῶν ἔμβρυα. I add the comment of DELG: "The gloss gives two informations: on the one hand the meaning interior of the crustacaeans which arose from the resemblance between the two materials explains the adjective ἐριθακώδης (`full of ἐριθάκη'), epithet of γραῖαι (crabs) (Épich. 61); on the other hand, it appears that the bee-bread was - wrongly - considered as food of the bees [in reality they use it to close openings in the walls of the bee-hive], which would explain the connection with ἔριθος, cf. s.u." The latter remark is not very clear to me; perhaps Chantraine refers to the fact that ἐριθακίς means worker-bee.
