[Meaning something] heavy, not to be borne.
*dusaxqe/s: baru/, a)ba/stakton.
Both the headword (which must be quoted from somewhere: see below) and the gloss are nominative/accusative neuter singular. The entry =
Synagoge delta391;
Photius,
Lexicon delta801. Its immediate origin is doubtless
Hesychius delta2533:
dusaxqe\s: baru/.
That entry in
Hesychius is considered by Latte a Cyrillian interpolation, which is probable enough if one considers that the same gloss occurs (according to Latte) in two Cyrillian codices still unpublished:
Laurentianus 57,39 and
Coislinianus 394. On the other hand one should take into account the fact that this adjective is unattested until the second century AD -- when we find it in
Maximus Astrologus (in reference to illness), in
Aretaeus (medical literature),
Tryphiodorus (poetry) and Cyranides (magic); also that
Hesychius' sources, through
Diogenianus and others, are mainly writers of the classical and Hellenistic periods.
