Meaning
The Greek names Ἵππα in the Sabazios hymn and in the opening of XLIX, where she is Bacchus’ nurse and an ecstatic maiden. The supplied English calls her Hipta. These are access forms for the same recipient in this edition, but the translation should not silently overwrite the printed Greek name or its heading.
