Notes
- = Synagoge sigma202, Photius sigma518 Theodoridis. The headword is aorist middle participle, nominative singular masculine, of
ste/llw . (For other forms of the same verb see sigma 1076 and sigma 1078.) It is evidently extracted from a literary source, but the possibilities are numerous. The same glossing phrase is used to gloss a compound from the same verbmetasteila/menos in the scholia to Lucian, Phalaris 1.6, where it has the sense 'having sent for'. Both the headword and the gloss are capable of a wide range of interpretation. If the original context was military, for instance, the gloss could mean "having attacked with light-armed troops".
