(?)Rain-water.[1]
Also [sc. attested is]
u(/sqhsan ["were rained upon"].
Herodotus [writes]: "for at that time
Thebes was rained upon, never before having been rained upon; since in Egypt it is supposed not to rain."[2]

[1] For the gloss, Adler prints
broxh/ from ms.F, while noting (a) that other mss. either have the truncated
brox or omit the gloss altogether and (b) the suggested emendations in the ed. pr. (
e)bra/xhs) and by Bernhardy (
e)bra/xh). Certainty is made more difficult by the ambiguity of the headword itself, attested only here.
[2] See
beta 436 (and
upsilon 676). The verb is plural because in Greek '
Thebes' is plural.
