*peri/ptera: a)pospinqhrismoi/.

Notes

  1. Of a flame; literally 'things flying about' (neuter plural).
    Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at Photius pi746 Theodoridis), generated by the phrase peri/ptera puro/s -- the coals of jealousy as 'sparks of fire' -- in the Septuagint (Song of Solomon 8:6).
    cf. pi 1265.
