*su/naixmos: o( su/mmaxos.
Notes
- Likewise in Photius sigma733 Theodoridis, and cf. already Hesychius sigma2405 s.v.
su/naixma (neuter plural). Outside lexicography, this term is only otherwise attested in a Novella of Constantine VII dated c.947 (ed. Svoronos/Gounaridis 123.101), apparently with the sense of a soldier's companion-in-arms.
