Στείχειν· πορεύεσθαι. καὶ Στείχοντες, πορευόμενοι. λόγος δ', ὃς ἐμπέπτωκεν ἀρτίως ἐμοὶ στείχοντι δεῦρο, συμβαλοῦ γνώμην· ἐπεὶ σμικρὸς μὲν εἰπεῖν, ἄξιος δὲ θαυμάσαι.

Notes (3)

  1. 1= Apollonius Sophistes, Homeric Lexicon 144.33; Hesychius sigma1717; Synagoge sigma204;, Photius sigma520 Theodoridis. From commentary to Homer, Iliad 2.833 and/or 11.331, where the headword appears; see also scholia to the former passage. The headword is the present active infinitive of stei/xw, glossed with the present middle infinitive of the deponent verb poreu/omai. cf. ps.-Herodian, Epimerismi 129.6, 248.17. ↩
  2. 2= Synagoge sigma205, Photius sigma521 Theodoridis. Probably from commentary to Homer, Iliad 2.287, or Odyssey 17.204; cf. scholia to the former passage. This secondary lemma is the present active participle of stei/xw, nominative plural masculine, glossed with the corresponding participle of poreu/omai. ↩
  3. 3Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus 1150-1152 (web address 1), exhibiting the dative singular form of the present active participle of stei/xw. ↩
