Notes:
Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius sigma855 Theodoridis. This is sense #1 in LSJ s.v. sfairwth/r, a masculine noun also found as sfurwth/r (as if from sfura/ "ankle", sigma 1761).
Adler classifies the entry as a 'gl[ossa] sacra', but sfairwth/r in LXX Exodus 25.31-36 is LSJ's sense #2, a ball/knob/sphere ornamenting a pillar.
[1] cf. zeta 101.
