Kitap 10
3.21
The Scepsian says, that it is probable that the Curetes and Corybantes are the same persons, who as youths and boys were employed to perform the armed dance in the worship of the mother of the gods. They were called CorybantesThey were called Curetes because they were boys, and κονρήτες μὲν ἀπὰ τοῦ κόρους εὶ͂ναι καλούμενοι. Groskurd suspects these or similar words to have followed Corybantes. from their dancing gait, and butting with their head (κοοͅύπτοντας) by the poet they were called βητάπμονες, Come hither, you who are the best skilled Betarmones among the Phaeacians.Od. viii. 250. Because the Corybantes are dancers, and are frantic, we call those persons by this name whose movements are furious.
3.22
Some writers say that the first inhabitants of the country at the foot of Mount Ida were called Idaean Dactyli, for the country below mountains is called the foot, and the summits of mountains their heads; so the separate extremities of Ida (and all are sacred to the mother of the gods) are called Idaean Dactyli.i. e. toes.
