Σφιγανόν

Notes

1. Likewise in Photius (sigma879 Theodoridis) and similarly already in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon, where the headword -- masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective -- is regarded as correctly transmitted: not the otherwise unattested sfigano/n but sfedano/n. As such, it is likely to be quoted from Homer, who uses the neuter adverbially: see esp. Iliad 11.165, where the D scholia have one of the glosses, kataphktiko/n, used by Timaeus.
