Headword: Psallomenês
Adler number: psi,12
Translated headword: being plucked
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] being pulled.[1] But strictly speaking psallein is plucking the strings with the tips of the fingers.[2]

Psallomenês: tillomenês. kuriôs de esti psallein to akrois tois daktulois tôn chordôn haptesthai. en Epigrammasi: miltophurê te schoinon hup' akronuchôi psallomenên kanoni.
Notes:
[1] The headword, evidently quoted from somewhere (but not the quotation given), is present middle/passive participle, feminine genitive singular, of ya/llw (cf. psi 13).
[2] This definition should perhaps have appeared under psi 9 (q.v.).
[3] Greek Anthology 6.103.5-6 (Philip), with the corresponding accusative of this participle; see already mu 1071 and note 3 there. See further extracts from this epigram, a carpenter's dedication, at alpha 3875, pi 2298, sigma 988, and sigma 1761.
