Translation
[Note] that basta/sai does not mean 'to lift up' among the Attic writers, but to inspect and to weigh and to examine the weight of something with the hand.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Διασηκῶσαι· ὅτι βαστάσαι οὐ τὸ ἆραι δηλοῖ παρὰ τοῖς Ἀττικοῖς, ἀλλὰ τὸ ψηλαφῆσαι καὶ διασηκῶσαι καὶ διασκέψασθαι τῇ χειρὶ τὴν ὁλκήν.
