Adler number: sigma,569
Translated headword: skene, stage
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A
skene is the middle door of the theater. But
paraskenia are the [parts] on one side and the other of the middle door. But that I may speak more accurately, immediately after the
skene and the
paraskenia [is] the
orchestra. But this is the place which has its floor [constructed] out of planks; [it is the place] from which the mimes perform. After the
orchestra there is an altar of Dionysus, which is called
thumele from the [verb]
qu/ein ["to sacrifice"]. But after the
thumele [is] the
konistra ["arena"], that is, the lower floor of the theater.[1]
Also [sc. attested is]
skhnh/ths, [meaning] one [who is] on the stage.[2]
"Always for you on your shining tomb, o divine
Sophocles, may the ivy of the stage leap [its] soft feet."[3]

Notes:
[1] Paralleled, according to Adler, in a scholion on Gregory of Nazianzus, and cf. in any event
Etymologicum Magnum 743.30-39. After
qume/lh, mss AM have a diagram (reproduced by Adler) of a rectangle with a small circle above it.
For
paraskh/nia, see

orchestra,

[2] (cf. ps.-Herodian 126.) According to LSJ, the preferred spelling is
skhni/ths, which is the reading, Adler reports, of ms A; cf.
sigma 570.
[3]
Greek Anthology 7.36.1-2 (
Erycius), where
a)/roito "may it raise" has been changed by the Suda to
a(/loito "may it leap"; cf.
alpha 1421. Find another extract from this epigram at
beta 453.
