[1] The headword is epic/poetic aorist middle, third person singular, of
seu/w. It occurs in
Homer,
Iliad 21.167 (of blood flowing), but the present instance is more probably extracted from
Pindar; the first of the Suda's two glosses has parallels in the
scholia to the passage quoted here (see next note).
