Meaning

Lord Priapos is one of the names assigned to the invoked Protogonos in VI.9, alongside Antauges. The source uses the epic-looking accusative Πρίηπον. This local naming is the relevant lexical fact; the line does not require an account of every independent tradition associated with Priapos.
