ἀρρωδεῖν καὶ ὀρρωδεῖν διαφέρει. τὸ μὲν γὰρ διὰ τοῦ o σημαίνει τὸ εὐλαβεῖσθαι οὕτως γὰρ ἐξηγοῦνται τὴν λέξιν· ὄρρος δὲ λέγεται ὁ περὶ τοὺς γλουτοὺς τόπος ὅν τινες ταῦρον λέγουσιν· ὅθεν καὶ τῶν ὀρνέων ὁ τόπος οὗτος ὀρροπύγ̣?ι̣?ον καλεῖται, οὐχ, ὥς τινες ἀγνοοῦντες, ὀρθοπύγιον. ἐτύμως δʼ εἴρηται, ὅρος ὢν τῆς πυγῆς καὶ οἱονεὶ ὁροπύγιον. οἱ δʼ εὐλαβούμενοι περί τινος ἀνασπᾶν εἰώθασι τὸ αἰδοῖον, πολλάκις δὲ καὶ τὰ ἄλογα τῶν ζώων ὑποστέλλειν εἰώθασι τὴν οὐρὰν ὅταν εὐλαβῆται. εὐλόγως οὖν ἐκ τοῦ παρακολουθοῦντος τὸ ὀρρωδεῖν εἴρηται ἐπὶ τοῦ εὐλαβεῖσθαι. καὶ Εὐριπίδης τὸν Περσέα λέγοντα εἰσάγει (Andromed. fr. 130 Nauck 2) ‘τὰς γὰρ συμφορὰς τῶν κακῶς πεπραχότων οὐπώποθʼ ὕβρισ’, αὐτὸς ὀρρωὅῶν παθεῖνʼ. καὶ τὸ μὲν ὀρρωδεῖν τοιοῦτον. τὸ δ’ ἀρρωδεῖν οἷον κατὰ στέρησιν, τοῦτ’ ἔστι μὴ εὐλαβεῖσθαι ἀλλὰ καταφρονεῖν καὶ τεθαρρηκέναι.
