Σοφιστεία.
Betacode
*sofistei/a.
Notes
- A post-classical derivative of
sofisth/s "sophist". Branded a barbarism by Pollux the grammarian (4.50), but used without apparent qualms -- if not always as a compliment -- by a variety of reputable writers including Plutarch. (And in the Suda cf. under mu 388.)
cf. sigma 812, sigma 813, sigma 814.
