Translation
[Meaning in both cases a] contest of horses. Just as "oath" [diomosia] and "affidavit" [antomosia] both obviously show the same thing.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀνιππασία καὶ Διϊππασία· τῶν ἵππων ἅμιλλα. ὥσπερ δὴ διωμοσία καὶ ἀντωμοσία τὸ αὐτὸ ἄμφω δηλοῖ.

Notes
- = Photius, Lexicon delta584. For the same material see again alpha 2758, delta 1043, delta 1235. In all four Suda entries, as already in Photius, the point is unfortunately spoiled by a mis-spelling of one of the words,
a)nqippasi/a . (There is no such word asa)nippasi/a .) For the anthippasia (the more usual term of the two), a mock cavalry battle, see Bugh (below) 59-60.
