splendidly honoured; glorious in honour

Meaning

This compound praises the honour attaching to gods, to Asklepios as Apollo’s mighty offspring, and to child-nurturing Peace. At XII.8 and XIX.22 Peace’s distinction matters as a desired divine good, not just an attractive sight. The τιμή element makes “splendidly honoured” more revealing than “beautiful.”
