Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword is epic/poetic aorist middle, third person singular, of seu/w. It occurs in Homer, Iliad 21.167 (of blood flowing), but the present instance is more probably extracted from Pindar; the first of the Suda's two glosses has parallels in the scholia to the passage quoted here (see next note). ↩
  2. 2Pindar, Olympian 1.32 (also in Plutarch, Moralia 747D), about a horse. ↩
