Greek Original:*dasplh=ta: th\n e)pi\ kakw=| prospela/zousan. e)n *)epigra/mmasi: sh\n ga\r e)gw\ dasplh=ta dia/stasin oi(=a/ te pikrh\n nu/kta katapth/ssw th\n *)axerontia/da. *dasplh=tis ga\r h( *)erinnu/s.
Notes:
The headword is accusative singular of the epic/poetic feminine adjective
dasplh=tis.
[1] Similar glossing in other lexica, including Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon, and cf. also the
scholia to
Homer,
Odyssey 15.234, where the nominative case occurs (of the Fury: see the end of the entry). The Suda's accusative is probably not extracted from the epigram about to be quoted but, rather, from
Simonides fr. 17 PMG (on Charybdis,
chi 144).

Greek Anthology 5.241.3-4 (Paul the Silentiary), on the anguish of parting from a lover. See further quotes from this epigram at

alpha 4687 and
alpha 4688.
