*sunauli/an: sumfwni/an.
Notes
- The headword is the accusative singular of the feminine noun
sunauli/a . See also xi 116, xi 117. Given the glossing this is evidently LSJ'ssunauli/a (A), connected with the aulos "pipe"; LSJ note instances where it bears the precise meaning "concert of lyre and [pipe]", alongside others where it has the more general sense(s) translated above.
The lexica vary between accusative case and nominative; references at Photius sigma740 Theodoridis.
A scholion on Lucian (265.20 Rabe) distinguishes the two senses ofsunauli/a : cohabitation (fromau)lh/ ) or musical duet. Moeris the Atticist listssunauli/an as Attic andsumfwni/an as common Greek.
