Headword: *periforiw=sqai
Adler number: pi,1342
Translated headword: to have a covering of skin
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Lysias [writes]: "[...] that either one of the eyes was lighter or it had a covering of skin".[1] Euphorion used the word in application to the closed [eye].[2] There are certain eyes which have lowered eyelids and give the impression of being shut. But if [the word] were written periphoriNosthai it would mean "to have been thickened", from the [term for] hide; for they do apply [the term] "hide" to humans.[3]
