Notes (2)
- The primary headword, present indicative or subjunctive active third person plural of the verb
spaqa/w (cf. sigma 898, and more generally sigma 899), is evidently extracted from a literary source; perhaps Lucian, Gallus 29 (cf. scholia ad loc. for similar glossing). - 1For the first gloss Adler cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 701 and ps.-Zonaras 1655. For the second, cf. Hesychius sigma1392; Synagoge sigma166; Photius, Lexicon sigma433 Theodoridis. ↩
- 2This meaning is attested only here; Aristotle and his commentator Simplicius have a more literal one; see LSJ s.v. ↩
