Greek original · Adler’s text

Ψαμίς· τὸ ἄρμενον, καὶ καμάρα· καὶ ἐπὶ ὑδρορρόου τάσσεται, καὶ ἡ ταχεῖα κίνησις.

Two mss, Adler reports, place this entry after psi 10.
A comparison with Hesychius' entry for yali/s, as well as Plato, Laws 947D, suggest that yami/s is a corruption of yali/s (psi 10).
