Notes
- Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested) is aorist indicative passive, third person singular, of
diasfairi/zw .
This rare verb (for the uncompound form see sigma 1721) occurs in the imperfect active in Euripides, Bacchae 1135.
