[Meaning a] manifestation [sc. of a command] by trumpet.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Σημασία· φανέρωσις διὰ σάλπιγγος.

Betacode
*shmasi/a: fane/rwsis dia\ sa/lpiggos. 

Notes

  1. A Biblical gloss, also in the Synagoge and Photius' Lexicon (Hesychius sigma498 has only 'manifestation'): see Numbers 10.5 LXX (salpiei=te shmasi/an, "give a signal with the trumpet").
    Elsewhere (esp. in Leviticus) this word is used with the meaning of "mark", "signal" of impurity, as in the case of lepers.
