ῶν (οἱ) les Selles, prêtres de Zeus à Dodone, ou anciens habitants de Dodone, IL. 16, 234 ; SOPH. Tr. 1167 ; EUR. fr. 368, etc.

Étym. v. Ἑλλοί.

οἱ, Selli, ancient inhabitants of Dodona, guardians of the oracle of Zeus, ἀμφὶ δὲ Σελλοὶ σοὶ ναίουσ’ ὑποφῆται ἀνιπτόποδες χαμαιεῦναι Il. 16.234; τῶν ὀρείων καὶ χαμαικοιτῶν… Σελλῶν S. Tr. 1167; ἐν ἀστρώτῳ πέδῳ εὕδουσι, πηγαῖς δ’ οὐχ ὑγραίνουσιν πόδας E. Fr. 367, cf. Arist. Mete. 352b2, Str. 7.7.10. (Pi. (Fr. 59) understood ἀμφὶ δέ σ’ Ἑλλοί in Il. l.c., but this is an error acc. to Aristarch., cf. Hsch. s.v. Σελλήεις, though countenanced by Id. s.v. Ἕλλα and Ἕλα, where it is apparently derived from Lacon. ἕλλα seat (sc. of Zeus at Dodona).)
