Headword: *smw/xein
Adler number: sigma,747
Translated headword: to grind
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The [verb that means] to abuse. From taking hold of the [people/things] being smeared.
Greek Original:
*smw/xein: to\ loidorei=n. a)po\ tou= kaqa/ptesqai tw=n smwme/nwn.
Note:
The entry appears to be a garbled remnant of a scholion to Aristophanes, Thesmophoriazusae 389, where most of the commentary pertains to the verb e)pismh=| ('smear', here in the sense of 'denigrate') which occurs in that passage, and to which the present headword is mentioned as a related word. Contrast Hesychius sigma1302, Photius sigma412 Theodoridis; and see also sigma 746.
