Notes (2)
- For this noun in the singular (and in another sense) see already sigma 302.
- 1Likewise in the Synagoge (sigma57) and Photius' Lexicon (sigma165 Theodoridis); and similarly in Hesychius, Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and various Homeric scholia. The etymology is far-fetched. ↩
- 2There is no entry for
sthko/s either in LSJ or in other modern Ancient Greek Lexica; the word has been invented for the sake of the etymology. The same equivalence and etymology are given in two Homeric scholia, to Iliad 8.131 (noted by Adler) and to Odyssey 4.612; also by the Etymologicum Gudianum (499.16 Sturz), the Etymologicum Magnum (710. 53) and the Lexicon of ps.-Zonaras (1638.2 Tittmann) s.v.shko/s: sthko\s ti/s e)sti[n] [...] . See also, post-Suda, Eustathius, Commentaries on Homer's Odyssey 1.338.28-29 Stallbaum:shkoi\ de\, peri\ ou(/s h( tw=n a)rnw=n kai\ tw=n e)ri/fwn sta/sis, a)po\ tou= i(/stasqai, i(/na ei)=en oi(onei\ sthkoi/ tines, o(/qen kai\ shki/tai a)/rnes . ↩
