Search results for sigma,129 in Adler number:
Greek display:    
Headword: *sardo/nion pe/lagos
Adler number: sigma,129
Translated headword: Sardonian sea, Sardinian sea
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Sardinian sea]; and [sc. also attested is the form] Sardonican sea.
But a Saronic sea [sc. is also attested].[1]
Greek Original:
*sardo/nion pe/lagos: kai\ *sardoniko\n pe/lagos. *sarwniko\n de\ pe/lagos.
Notes:
In English we would naturally say 'Sardinian', but the Greek toponym Sardo (sigma 130) gave rise to an adjective using, likewise, o(micron).
For the headword phrase see e.g. Herodotus 1.166.2, Polybius 1.10.5, Strabo 2.5.19 (a precise definition).
[1] (Lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF.) Quite different: a.k.a. the Saronic Gulf, between Athens and the Argolid, and embracing Aegina.
Keywords: dialects, grammar, and etymology; geography; historiography
