Adler number: omicron,173
Translated headword: in drawing-down [of a scale]
Vetting Status: high

"And he [A] removed the collar, being of noble gold weight, that he [B] was wearing." [So] says Aelian.[2]
Greek Original:
*(olkh=|: duna/mei, h)\ ba/rei, h)\ staqmw=|. kai\ to\n strepto/n, o(\n e)fo/rei, o(lkh=s genikh=s xrusou= o)/nta a)fairei=tai. fhsi\n *ai)liano/s.
Notes:
The headword, evidently quoted from somewhere, is a feminine noun in the dative singular. (In the quotation given, it appears in the genitive singular.) See generally LSJ s.v. o(lkh/ III.1 (pulling, dragging, tugging towards, drawing down (of the scale), i.e. weight), and cf. omicron 174.
[1] The first gloss is another feminine noun in the dative singular (see LSJ s.v. du/namis); the second and third glosses are neuter nouns in the dative singular (see LSJ s.v. ba/ros and staqmo/n. The headword is identically glossed in the Synagoge, Photius' Lexicon (omicron225 Theodoridis), and Lexica Segueriana 316.16; cf. Hesychius omicron580, omicron582, omicron583.
[2] Aelian fr. 162 Hercher (165 Domingo-Forasté) -- reading gennikh=s from ms G (favoured by Valckenaer), not the genikh=s Adler prints.
