For this verb see also

sigma 1708.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius sigma852, where Theodoridis presents the first glossing synonym as (obelized)
fra/ssein rather than the Suda's
qra/ssein but actually follows Ruhnken and Schleusner in believing that the correct reading is the one transmitted in the
Lexicon Cyrillianum:
bra/ssein "to shake violently".
[2] Similarly in other lexica (e.g.
Hesychius sigma2829) and
scholia (e.g. to
Sophocles,
Ajax 833).
