Notes:
The headword -- third person singular, present indicative active, of
sigma 1027 -- is perhaps extracted from the first quotation given, though
Hesychius does not have it, and there is a better alternative: see next note.
[1] The second of these glosses,
u(pome/nei, is also in
Hesychius sigma1686 (along with others) and also in the
scholia to
Aeschylus,
Seven Against Thebes 797, where the headword occurs. (Note also
1 Ep. Cor. 13.7, where both
ste/gei and
u(pome/nei occur.)
[2] George of
Pisidia,
Persian Expedition 3.100-101.
[3] Present middle/passive participle, neuter nominative/accusative plural. Same or similar glossing in other lexica; evidently quoted from somewhere.
[4] cf. again
Hesychius sigma1686.
[5]
Josephus,
Antiquities of the Jews 5.314 (web address 1), with the present active participle in the genitive plural (genitive absolute).
[6]
Aristophanes,
Wasps 1294-5 (web address 2); quoted already at
kappa 1059.
[7]
Sophocles,
Oedipus at Colonus 14-15 (web address 3), with scholion.
