Headword: *su/to
Adler number: sigma,1692
Translated headword: was set into motion
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] rushed, was running.[1]
"[...] its body was set in motion, unspurred, in the course [...]."[2]
Greek Original:
*su/to: w(rma=to, e)/trexe. su/to de/mas a)ke/nthton e)n dro/mois.
Notes:
[1] The headword is epic/poetic aorist middle, third person singular, of seu/w. It occurs in Homer, Iliad 21.167 (of blood flowing), but the present instance is more probably extracted from Pindar; the first of the Suda's two glosses has parallels in the scholia to the passage quoted here (see next note).
[2] Pindar, Olympian 1.32 (also in Plutarch, Moralia 747D), about a horse.
