Headword: Sêkoi
Adler number: sigma,303
Translated headword: pens
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the folds of [= for] grazing-cattle, [a term] derived from the [verb] to keep safe [sw/|zein].[1]
Or [as if] being stalls [sthkoi/] of a kind, derived from the [fact of] standing there.[2]
Greek Original:
Sêkoi: hai tôn boskêmatôn epauleis, para to sôizein. ê stêkoi tines ontes, para to ekeise stêkein.
Notes:
For this noun in the singular (and in another sense) see already sigma 302.
[1] Likewise in the Synagoge (sigma57) and Photius' Lexicon (sigma165 Theodoridis); and similarly in Hesychius, Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and various Homeric scholia. The etymology is far-fetched.
[2] There is no entry for sthko/s either in LSJ or in other modern Ancient Greek Lexica; the word has been invented for the sake of the etymology. The same equivalence and etymology are given in two Homeric scholia, to Iliad 8.131 (noted by Adler) and to Odyssey 4.612; also by the Etymologicum Gudianum (499.16 Sturz), the Etymologicum Magnum (710. 53) and the Lexicon of ps.-Zonaras (1638.2 Tittmann) s.v. shko/s: sthko\s ti/s e)sti[n] [...]. See also, post-Suda, Eustathius, Commentaries on Homer's Odyssey 1.338.28-29 Stallbaum: shkoi\ de\, peri\ ou(/s h( tw=n a)rnw=n kai\ tw=n e)ri/fwn sta/sis, a)po\ tou= i(/stasqai, i(/na ei)=en oi(onei\ sthkoi/ tines, o(/qen kai\ shki/tai a)/rnes.
