Ὑπειρέσιον· ὑπαγκώνιον τῶν ἐρετῶν, ἤγουν κωπηλατῶν, ὑφ' οὗ καθίζουσιν οἱ ἐρέσσοντες, διὰ τὸ μὴ συντρίβεσθαι αὐτῶν τὰς πυγάς. καὶ τὸ πληθυντικὸν τὰς ὑπειρεσίας.

Notes (3)
- 1The various parts of this gloss are paralleled in other lexica. One would expect "on which" rather than "under which": manuscript A, as well as other lexica read
e)f' (see Photius s.v.poti/kranon ). ↩ - 2cf. scholion on Thucydides 2.93.1 (web address 1), where the headword occurs (spelled
u(phre/sion as at upsilon 431). ↩ - 3(Not in manuscripts AV, Adler reports.) Accusative plural of a different noun,
u(phresi/a "body of rowers, ship's crew". ↩
