Notes:
[1]
Sophocles,
Oedipus Tyrannus 27-28 (web address 1), with scholion. The headword (extracted from the quotation) is aorist active participle of
skh/ptw, masculine nominative singular.
[2] Adler attributed this quotation (which includes the aorist middle participle of the same verb, masculine genitive plural) to
Menander Protector or
Priscus; it is now
Priscus fr. 58 Bornmann. The Grouthingoi are called Grytings in Icelandic lore, and may be identical with the Ostrogoths (see web address 2, note 25) -- but if so, their language would have been different from the Scythians'.
