- flowing from rock
Meaning
The Nymphs are rock-flowing amid clear voices, humming and mountain movement (LI.9). The adjective associates them with water emerging from rocky ground. The supplied πετρόρρυτοι has double ρ; LSJ’s access spelling πετρόρυτος has one, an orthographic distinction that need not change the local sense.
