[Meaning they who had been] twisted up together.1

Notes (2)

  1. For this verb cf. sigma 1513.
  2. 1Likewise in other lexica (and similarly elsewhere, e.g. a scholion on Plato, Symposium 206D); references at Photius sigma839, where Theodoridis quotes two instances of the headword participle in Xenophon's Hellenica (4.3.18, 5.2.41). Note also -- for the present headword and gloss in reverse -- Thucydides 4.68.6 (custrafe/ntes) and scholion. ↩
  3. 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
