The headword participle, in the masculine accusative singular, is quoted from Homer, Iliad 6.322, where it describes Paris (delta 1681 etc.) toying with his weapons (web address 1); but NB, the reading there is to/c' a(fo/wnta rather than the Suda's implied (to/ca) fo/wnta. For the verb a(fa/w, see the note at alpha 4561.
