Adler number: epsilon,1074
Translated headword: most closely resembling, very like
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"In habits and lifestyle most closely resembling sphinxes". [This phrase occurs] in Aristophanes in Wasps.
Greek Original:
*)emferi/statos: tou\s tro/pous kai\ th\n di/aitan sfigci\n e)mferista/tous. para\ *)aristofa/nei e)n *sfhci/n.
Notes:
Aristophanes, Wasps 1103, which however has sfhcin e)mferesta/tous "most closely resembling wasps" (web address 1). The Suda mss, apparently, all give the noun as sfhgci/n, which Adler perversely prints as sfigci/n.
cf. generally epsilon 1072, epsilon 1073.
