δ752Διάσια
Diasia
A festival of Zeus the Kindly at Athens; it is called 'Diasia' because they escaped [diafugei=n] troubles [a)/sai] with their prayers. And Aristophanes [writes]: "when I bought you a little cart at the Diasia."
Διάσια· ἑορτὴ Ἀθήνησι Μειλιχίου Διός· προσαγορεύεται δὲ Διάσια, ἀπὸ τοῦ διαφυγεῖν αὐτοὺς εὐχαῖς τὰς ἄσας. καὶ Ἀριστοφάνης· ὅτ' ἐπριάμην σοι Διασίοις ἁμαξίδα.
