"In the copses a flame automatically sets the trees on fire when they are shaken by a violent wind and rub against one another."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Δρυμός· ὁ σύνδενδρος τόπος. ἐν τοῖς δρυμοῖς αὐτόματος ἐξάπτεται φλὸξ τῶν δένδρων ὑπὸ σφοδροῦ πνεύματος κινουμένων καὶ ἀλλήλοις ἐντριβομένων.

Notes (2)

  1. 1cf. scholion on Homer, Iliad 11.118, where the headword occurs in the heteroclite plural druma/ (web address 1). See also delta 1530, delta 1541, and - for this word as the name of a city -- delta 1543. ↩
  2. 2Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of a passage of Theodoret, Interpretatio in Psalmos (PG 80.1537, on Psalm 82.15 LXX). See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXXI. ↩
