Notes (2)
- The primary headword
si/mbla [sic: the SOL one, mistakenly, issimblh/i+a , on which see below], not found in related lexica, is nominative/accusative plural of neutersi/mblon . See sigma 426 for the masculine plural formsi/mbloi . - 1The gloss
a)ggei=a implies a ceramic receptacle or tube. The same gloss is given forsi/mbloi in Hesychius sigma660. See also a scholion on Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 1.879-83b (Wendel 74.19-20). ↩ - 2Here in the neuter plural, and surely quoted from its only attestation in classical literature: Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.1036. ↩
