Σκηριπτόμενος

Notes

1. = Synagoge sigma117; cf. Hesychius sigma960. A fragment of Apion's Homeric Lexicon (Ludwich, 100.9) uses the same basic glosses but specifies that the first one is appropriate for when the headword refers to someone leaning on a staff (with which Ludwich associates Homer, Odyssey 17.196, where the infinitive form of the verb appears) and the second for when it simply means supporting or applying pressure in any direction (for which Ludwich refers to Odyssey 11.495, which describes Sisyphus pushing his boulder up the hill; this is the only occurrence of this particular form of the headword -- present middle participle, masculine singular nominative -- in Homer).
   cf. sigma 580, to which some material from this entry is copied.
