Translation

[Meaning] disorderly in movement, confused, disturbed.1
"He, [sc. moving] more quickly than at walking-pace, shaking his head and chanting some things in barbaric fashion, as far as one can judge by intonation of voice and the agitated quality of his gait, making threats [...]."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Σεσοβημένος· ἄτακτος τὴν κίνησιν, τεθορυβημένος, τεταραγμένος. ὁ δὲ θᾶσσον ἢ βάδην τήν τε κεφαλὴν ἐπισείων καὶ βαρβαρικῶς τινα ἐπιφθεγγόμενος, ὅσα τῆς τε φωνῆς τῷ ἐντόνῳ καὶ τοῦ βαδίσματος τῷ σεσοβημένῳ εἰκάσαι, ἐπαπειλῶν.

Notes (2)

  1. 1= Synagoge sigma55, Photius sigma156 Theodoridis. The headword is the perfect middle participle, masculine singular nominative, of sobe/w (see sigma 761, sigma 762). It might be a generic lexical reference. If it is not, Theodoridis in his edition of Photius suggests that a likely source is Palladius, Dialogue on the Life of John Chrysostom 18.3, but there are several other possibilities, two of which Theodoridis himself cites (Galen, ps.-Longinus). At any rate, the source is not the quotation given here, where the headword occurs in the dative singular. According to Cunningham (in his edition of the Synagoge), this or a closely similar set of glosses appear in a number of mss of the Lexicon of Cyril. ↩
  2. 2Aelian fr. 68a Domingo-Forasté, 65 Hercher (although Adler reports that Bernhardy disputed the attribution to Aelian). ↩
