Notes
- = Synagoge sigma137; Photius, Lexicon sigma375, where Theodoridis notes an instance of the headword (present indicative, third person singular, of
skotodinia/w ) in one of the declamations of Aelius Aristides (II 530 D).
For the first gloss alone see already Hesychius sigma1126. The immediately following entry in Hesychius, sigma1127, glosses the aorist participleskotodinia/sas with the phrasemeta\ sko/tous o)fqalmw=n sustrafei/s, o(/ e)stin i)liggia/sas , which looks very like the precursor of the one in the other lexica. (Adler noted ms verbal variants for the nounsustrofh/ , and Theodoridis printssustre/fei , albeit obelized.)
For an instance ofi)liggia/w see chi 568.
