Headword: *sthsa/menos
Adler number: sigma,1093
Translated headword: having set up
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he] having created. "[...] having set up the conflict/contest round about both Kallinikon and (?)Barrhai."[1]
Greek Original:
*sthsa/menos: poih/sas. peri/ te *kalli/nikon kai\ *ba/rras to\n a)gw=na sthsa/menos.
Note:
[1] Quotation (and individual) unidentifiable. However, the second toponym, as Bernhardy realised, should probably be not 'Barrhai' but Karrhai. Barrhai is otherwise attested only in Ptolemy's Geography, as being in or near India (7.2.20); reading Karrhai (Carrhae) -- famous for the battle against the Parthians in which M. Licinius Crassus Dives met his death -- produces two places, in this quotation, both in Mesopotamia.
