[1] From a scholion on
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 180, where the nominative plural headword occurs (referring to old men); cf.
Erotianus 78.6. The derivation from
stei/bw is correct; cf.
sigma 1075.

Sophocles,
Philoctetes 33-34 (where this
stipth/, feminine nominative singular, describes Philoctetes' rudimentary home). The quotation is actually divided between two speakers, Neoptolemus [
Author,
Myth] and Odysseus.
