Greek original · Adler’s text
Τολύπευμα· Συναγωγή· τὸ κατασκευαστὸν καὶ πεφιλοκαλημένον ἔριον.
Betacode
*tolu/peuma: *sunagwgh/: to\ kataskeuasto\n kai\ pefilokalhme/non e)/rion.
Notes
- Likewise, indeed, in the Synagoge (tau218) -- to which this is the Suda's only explicit allusion -- and (without such an allusion) Photius, Lexicon tau368 Theodoridis; also the Etymologicum Genuinum and Etymologicum Magnum. The first part of the gloss is in Hesychius tau1100 and a scholion on Homer, Odyssey 4.490, where the verb
tolu/peusen occurs. The present headword itself, a neuter noun, is unattested outside lexicography.
cf. generally tau 747, tau 749.
