Translation
The [verb that means] I make horses move.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Σιλαίνω· τὸ τοὺς ἵππους κινῶ.
Betacode
*silai/nw: to\ tou\s i(/ppous kinw=.
Notes
- Comparable entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1648).
Though transmitted in most of the manuscripts (Adler reports) assilai/nw , the headword verb should actually besillai/nw (sigma 410). The Suda (like modern Greek) shows little concern for the distinction between single and double consonants. See also sigma 414.
