Notes (2)

  1. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius sigma192 Theodoridis. The headword is third person singular, present indicative active, of the poetic verb sqe/nw. It must be quoted from somewhere; there are numerous instances in Attic tragedy, and the one at (?)Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 1013, has this glossing in the scholia. ↩
  2. 2See sigma 518. ↩
