Σφύζει· ἐπείγει· ἢ αἱ φλέβες ἅλλονται. ἐπὶ ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῖς σφύζουσι καὶ ἀνεστηκόσι συνάπτουσι μάχην. καὶ Πισίδης· σφύζεις, Ἀχιλλεῦ, καὶ μεθύσκῃ τὰς φρένας.

Notes (3)
- The headword is the present indicative active, third person singular, of the verb
sfu/zw , I throb, beat violently; see generally LSJ s.v. It must be quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities. - 1The initial gloss is the same verb form as the lemma, but from
e)pei/gw , I press hard, by weight; see generally LSJ s.v. The second part of the gloss -- for which cf. the glossing at sigma 1759 -- includes the present indicative, third person plural, of the verba(/llomai , I spring, leap, bound, pulse, quiver; see generally LSJ s.v. The headword is identically glossed in the Synagoge (sigma414) and Photius' Lexicon (sigma885 Theodoridis), and cf. already Hesychius sigma2933. ↩ - 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
- 3George of Pisidia, Heraclias 3 fr. 1 Pertusi, still fr. 1 Tartaglia. No context supports the fragment. ↩
