The headword -- aorist indicative active, third person plural, of
sti/zw (cf.
sigma 1107) -- occurs in the sense indicated in a well-known passage of
Herodotus, 7.233.2: web address 1), quoted in
Plutarch's
On the Malignity of Herodotus 866F, so it might be extracted from there. Alternatively, from some account of a notorious (but possibly apocryphal) tattooing incident which the Suda also discusses at
sigma 75,
sigma 77 (q.v. for further references) and
tau 142.
