Notes (1)
- The headword phrase is extracted unchanged from the quotation. Its noun is related to the verb
sumpra/ttw (sigma 1400), not common but attested in Herodotus, Xenophon, Antiphon, and later writers. Other lexica use it to glosssuni/stwr (cf. sigma 1582). - 1Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 116, with scholion. ↩
