Speziellere Auffor- derung zu erscheinen, jetzt an Da- reios selbst gerichtet. Rascher Wech- sel der Rhythmen, entsprechend der Erregung des Chors. βαλήν, hebräisch בַּעֲלֵנוּ unser Herr; vgl. אֲדוֹנִי ," Άδωνις, mein Herr. Im Munde der Semiten trat das Wort den Hellenen meist in der Suffixform entgegen, und diese wurde daher von ihnen für die eigentliche Na- mensform gehalten. Sext. Emp. p. 672, 26 Bk.: οἱ παρὰ τῷ Σοφοκλεί ποιμένες ῾ἰὼ βαλλήν᾽ λέγοντες ἰὼ βασιλεῦ λέγουσι φρυγιστί. Hesych. Ιρ. 685: βαλλήν· βασιλεύς, φρυγιστί. So das phrygische βαληναῖον ὄρος bei Pseud.-Plut. fluv. 12, 3 s. v. a. βασιλικόν und das phryg. Königs- fest βαληναῖος ἑορτή. – Ζυ ἀρχαῖος vergleicht Westphal Aelian. v. h.

Vorausankün- digung des (königlichen) Kostüms, in welchem Dareios erscheint. Fuſs- bekleidung: εὔμαρις (Eur. Or. 1370), kothurnartig und safranfarbig (vgl. luteus soccus, Catull 59,8; puniceus cothurnus, Vergil. ecl. 7, 31); Kopf- bedeckung die tiara recta (Sen. benef. VI 31, 12: ut curru vectus intraret rectam capite tiaram ge- rens, id solis datum regibus etc.), kronenartig (steif und oben gezackt, nach Abbildungen, s. Caylus Re- cueil d'ant. II p. 124). – φάλαρον, apex. In der Ilias immer βάσκ ἴθι. – πιφαύσκων, Schol. φαίνων, leuchten lassend. Herod. III 89: διὰ ταύτην τὴν ἐπίταξιν τοῦ φόρου καὶ παραπλήσια ταύτῃ ἄλλα λέγουσι Πέρσαι ὡς Δαρείος μὲν ἦν κάπηλος, Καμβύσης δὲ δεσπότης, Κύρος δὲ πατήρ, letzterer ὅτι ἤπιόςτε ( ἦν) καὶ ἀγαθά σφι πάντα ἐμηχανήσατο.
