  1. The headword is neuter singular, used as a substantive, of the adjective featured later in the entry (n. 2). See generally LSJ s.v.
  2. 1From a scholion on Aristophanes, Frogs 1281 (not LSJ's '1314'), where the phrase sta/sin melw=n occurs. ↩
  3. 2Neuter nominative/accusative singular of the adjective sta/simos, as from sta/sis in the sense of sedition, discord, civil strife (cf. sigma 1006). ↩
  4. 3See for instance LGPN ii (Attica) s.v. ##1-2 (deme Deiradiotai, late C1 CE). ↩
