Headword: *sumba/llein
Adler number: sigma,1355
Translated headword: to give, to lend; to reckon
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] to give a share/distribute, to lend.[1] "Then he said that [the women] give/lend to one another outer-garments, gold, silver, drinking-cups, only being amongst themselves, with no other witnesses."[2]

Greek Original:

Notes:
The headword, extracted from the first quotation given, is present active infinitive of sumba/llw (for which verb cf. sigma 1354, sigma 1356, and xi 100). The supplementary quotation includes the aorist active infinitive.
[1] Source for the gloss is a scholion (Dindorf 297.18) on Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 446; see next note. The present active infinitive kixra=n seems to be rare, at least in this form. See LSJ s.v. kixra/w; cf. LSJ s.v. xra/w B.I.
[2] An approximation of Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 446-448 (web address 1).
[3] Adler suggests Symeon Metaphrastes (PG 114-116) as a possible source.
[4] After the initial gloss, the entire entry is lacking, Adler reports, in ms F, while A omits sumbalei=nnoh=sai. Ms G has o(rw/menon "seen" instead of geno/menon "happened."
