- burn; set alight
Meaning
The angered Kouretes burn the people themselves at XXXVIII.16–17: καὶ αὐτοὺς is the object of πιμπράντες across the line break. The apparatus reports πιμπλάντες, from the language of filling, against printed πιμπράντες. This changes the action itself, not merely its spelling; the adopted text describes burning, not the Kouretes themselves being on fire.
