Headword: *sta/sis
Adler number: sigma,1006
Translated headword: faction-fighting, discord, civil war, stasis
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Faction-fighting, stasis] is internal to the community, whereas war [polemos] involves outsiders.[1]
"Each faction-member made his choice."[2]
Faction-members [stasiotai] [are] those activating factions.
Also[3] [sc. attested is] faction-member [stasiotes]: Antiphon in the [speech] On the Revolution [writes]: "so concerning the accusations Apolexis has made, that I myself was a faction-member, and my grandfather".[4] The orator here appears to have applied the word in a special sense to mean bodyguard; at any rate in what follows he says that his ancestors would not have been able to punish those acting as tyrants while unable [to punish] their bodyguards.

Notes:
[1] From the scholia to Thucydides 1.2.6, where the headword occurs (web address 1).
[2] Quotation unidentifiable (and to all appearances textually corrupt anyway).
[3] The source now becomes Harpokration s.v.
[4] Antiphon fr. 1 Sauppe (1b Gagarin). What is said about it here does appear to need Dobree's emendation 'to punish' kola/sai for the transmitted kale/sai.
