- δρυπεπής
- δρυπεπήςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: `what has ripened on the tree' about black olives (Ar. Lys. 564)Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: From δρυ- and πέπων. Unclear is δρύππιος, said of ἄγρος (IG IX 1,61); also δρύπεπα (AP 6,191), which may be an isolated innovation. Idem δρύππα (AP 6,299); can it be a Latin form? Note that Ath. 56 said that acc. pl. δρυππας is Roman. Δρυπετής will be a later change of the form; it may have existed because of δρυπετεῖς ἀπὸ δένδρου πεπτωκυίας H.
