Synagoge sigma218,
Photius sigma537 Theodoridis; the primary lemma and gloss also =
Hesychius sigma1777, and for the secondary lemma cf.
Hesychius sigma1776.
The primary headword is apparently an agent noun derived from a hypothetical verb
sternotu/ptw (presumably a by-form of the more common verb
sternotupe/omai). The supplementary one -- which as Theodoridis notes ought to be
sternotuptou/menos (as in Suda mss GM) -- is the present middle participle, nominative singular masculine, of the same verb. Neither form (nor any other form of
sternotu/ptw) is attested outside lexicography.
