Notes:
[1] The headword is aorist active participle of sumya/w (cf. sigma 1415), masculine nominative singular, from a gloss on the quotation which follows.
[2] Herodotus 1.189.1 (on Cyrus at the R. Gyndes).
[3] Iamblichus, Babyloniaca fr. 54 Habrich. Part of the same story seems to appear at sigma 562.
