Headword:
*steroph/
Adler number: sigma,1059
Translated headword: lightning
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning a] thunderbolt, gleam.[1]
"For like a swift south wind rushing without gleaming lightning it ceases, and now that he is in his right mind he has a new pain."[2] Meaning the madness does not have hold of him, but ceases, it ceases quickly like a swift south wind. As though there are signs that occur in relation to the breezes, so that they continue or swiftly stop.[3] As in the comedy: "but it refrained swiftly; for in the evening he began to suffer."[4]

Notes:
[1] cf.
Synagoge sigma219;
Photius,
Lexicon sigma539 Theodoridis. The headword is nominative singular and may be either a generic lexical reference or a quotation from a literary source (but not from the quotation which follows here, where the Doric genitive singular occurs); perhaps
Homer,
Iliad 10.154 or -- as cited by Adler and Theodoridis -- 11.66 (cf. the
scholia to the latter passage). See also ps.-Herodian,
Epimerismi 123.5, 231.17,
Hesychius sigma1778, omega458,
Etymologicum Magnum 158.41-45. Contrast Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 144.17.
[2]
Sophocles,
Ajax 257-9, with comments derived from the
scholia thereto.
[3] This idea is expressed more clearly in the
scholia: when lightning occurs with a south wind, the wind will continue; when there is no lightning the wind will stop soon.
