Ἀργήστης

Χρόνος δ' ἀμαυροῖ πάντα κεἰς λήθην ἄγει → Diesque celat omnia atque oblitterat → Die Zeit verdunkelt alles, gibt's dem Vergessen preis

Menander, Monostichoi, 545

Spanish (DGE)

-ου, ὁ Argestes persa, A.Pers.308.

Ἀργ- is perhaps connected with YAv. arəja, worthy, fr. arəj, Skt. arh; -ηστης suggests Av. asti, companion.
