Σκήψας· ἐπιβάλλων, ἐπιφέρων. Σοφοκλῆς· ἐν δ' ὁ πυρφόρος θεὸς σκήψας ἐλαύνει λοιμὸς ἔχθιστος πόλιν. καὶ σκηψαμένων τινῶν προδοσίαν ὁμογλώσσων τοῖς Σκύθαις, τοῖς καλουμένοις Γρουθίγγοις.

Notes (2)
- 1Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 27-28 (web address 1), with scholion. The headword (extracted from the quotation) is aorist active participle of
skh/ptw , masculine nominative singular. ↩ - 2Adler attributed this quotation (which includes the aorist middle participle of the same verb, masculine genitive plural) to Menander Protector or Priscus; it is now Priscus fr. 58 Bornmann. The Grouthingoi are called Grytings in Icelandic lore, and may be identical with the Ostrogoths (see web address 2, note 25) -- but if so, their language would have been different from the Scythians'. ↩
