Sphêkôntes.
As transmitted (and unparalleled elsewhere), the present active participle of the verb
sfhko/w, masculine nominative plural, quoted from somewhere -- unless Bernhardy was right to emend the headword to
sfhkw=nes "wasps' nests" (but that too is v.poorly attested).
cf.
kappa 1349 (and, more generally, the modern concept of being 'wasp-waisted'). For wasps see also e.g.
sigma 1732,
sigma 1733,
sigma 1741.
