Headword:
*suskhni/a
Adler number: sigma,1680
Translated headword: communal tenting
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] communal living.[1]
Xenophon [writes]: "in the soldiers tenting together they seemed to have the advantage in the coming conflict; for they saw each other similarly fed, and there could be no claim of discrimination which would result in anyone displaying worse behaviour than another in the face of the enemy." Also "they would get to know one another, which would be likely to create considerateness in everyone; those who are unacquainted are indifferent, as if they were in the dark."[2]

Notes:
[1] The headword is nominative singular of this feminine abstract noun. In that grammatical form its only other attestation is in Gregory of Nyssa, but the dative occurs in
Xenophon,
Hellenica 5.3.20, and -- more significantly in view of what follows here -- the accusative in
Xenophon,
Cyropaedia 5.1.26.
[2] An abridgement and approximation of
Xenophon,
Cyropaedia 2.1.25 (web address 1).
