[Meaning a] beggarly crowd, or a [sc. beggarly] word; or dung gathered-together by a wind, and like dry sticks.1 Or dust with dung. But some [say it means] a storm and sweeping motion.2
"But these things [are] unknown to the refuse."3

Greek original · Adler’s text

Συρφετός· ἀγυρτώδης ὄχλος, ἢ λόγος· ἢ ἐξ ἀνέμου συλλεγομένη κόπρος, καὶ φρυγανώδης. ἤτοι κονιορτὸς μετὰ κοπρίων. τινὲς δὲ χειμὼν καὶ συρμός. ταῦτα δὲ ἄγνωστα τῷ συρφετῷ.
