Translation
[Meaning] they rub. Herodotos [sc. uses the word].
Greek original · Adler’s text
Σώχουσι· τρίβουσιν. Ἡρόδοτος.
Betacode
*sw/xousi: tri/bousin. *(hro/dotos.
Notes
- Headword and gloss come, together, from glosses on Herodotus 4.75.3 (which in fact uses, uniquely, the compound
katasw/xousi and its participlekataswxo/menon , of Skythian women preparing cosmetics). Compare generally the glossing of the infinitivesw/xein withtri/bein in a scholion on Nicander, Theriaca 590 (where it occurs) and also in Hesychius.
*sw/xw is a variant ofyw/xw (psi 140): Lejeune p.73.
