Notes:
Headword and gloss come, together, from glosses on
Herodotus 4.75.3 (which in fact uses, uniquely, the compound
katasw/xousi and its participle
kataswxo/menon, of Skythian women preparing cosmetics). Compare generally the glossing of the infinitive
sw/xein with
tri/bein in a scholion on
Nicander,
Theriaca 590 (where it occurs) and also in
Hesychius.
