Also [sc. attested is its feminine form] a(li/sasa, [she] having assembled. "Semiramis, having gathered her strength, took the city by force".²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἁλίσας· συναθροίσας· ἢ κυλίσας, κονίσας. καὶ Ἁλίσασα, συναθροίσασα. ἡ δὲ Σεμίραμις ἁλίσασα τὴν δύναμιν τὴν πόλιν αἱρεῖ κατὰ κράτος.

Notes (1)

[1] The headword, similarly glossed in other lexica and evidently quoted from somewhere, is aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular, of a(li/zw.
2Quotation possibly from Ctesias, via Nicolaus of Damascus: see Favuzzi [cited under alpha 2798] 40-41. For Semiramis (Sammuramat) see sigma 219, sigma 200, and generally OCD(4) s.v. (p.1343).
