[Meaning] a strain, an ode.
It also means 'warp'. And Sophron [sc. uses the word].[1]

[1] Sophron fr. 79 Kaibel, now 143 K.-A. (For Sophron see generally sigma 893.) This a)/sma has no iota subscript, distinguishing it from the the headword a)=|sma (which is also differently accented).
[2] Two sigmas in the Ionic/koine form a)/ssesqai, corresponding to the Attic a)/ttesqai.
