Forming or stamping — τυπῶτις

Meaning

The accusative τυπῶτιν qualifies Apollo's seal at XXXIV.26. It gives the seal an active forming or stamping force: the whole phrase, rather than the noun σφραγίς alone, yields the translation's 'stamping seal.' The apparatus reports τυπωτήν, fashioned or moulded, in the alternative wording: that makes the seal the result of forming rather than its active agent. The adopted feminine formation agrees with the feminine seal noun and is separately retrievable under this headword.
