Same entry in other lexica (but see below).
On Sicilian Etna (Aetna), the highest active volcano in Europe, cf. already

alphaiota 375 and

[1] So the transmitted text, as punctuated by Adler, i.e. present participle, masculine/neuter genitive singular, of a verb
ai)tni/zw. But it seems preferable to follow Reizenstein and now Theodoridis, on

a)tmi/zontos as part of the preceding phrase ("coming out ... and smoking").
