Note:
Derived from commentary to Aristophanes, Frogs 1497 (cf. scholia ad loc.), where a slightly different form of the dative plural headword, skarifhsmoi=si, appears. Neither form occurs elsewhere. The first gloss, skarismoi=s ('jitterings') appears to be an etymological comment rather than one that is meant to be semantically enlightening. See also sigma 540 and sigma 522.
