Headword: *)osfrantiko/n
Adler number: omicron,721
Translated headword: capable of smelling, odor-sensitive, quick of scent
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The sense organ capable of smelling is the mastoid apophysis which is in front of the brain behind the bones of the same shape as if facing inside. But the apprehension of smells occurs through the smell-transmission power of the air.[1]
For smell-transmission is the transporting faculty of things that can be smelled in Theophrastus, [and] the sense organ is not the nose but the mastoid apophysis or prominence of the brain.[2]
"[He] lay down smelling". For those being released from fear cease their distress by smelling; and the distress comes on them out of the heart.[3]
