Headword:
*sxe/sis
Adler number: sigma,1780
Translated headword: relationship, condition (of being related), possession
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning an] impulse, conjunction.[1]
Relationship [sxe/sis] is said of relative [pro/s ti] things; for example, father with respect to son, friend with respect to friend. For these things hold [each other] and are held by each other; this is why [they] are also called 'relationships'.[2] The things said by comparison are also with respect to something, such as 'small', 'greater', 'double', 'knowledge', 'perception'.[3] And the Theologian [says]: "so that only the relationships are left, deprived of things".[4] For we abandon our mother and are abandoned by her. So [we humans] are divided into children and parents. But the divine [is] indivisible.

Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at
Photius sigma900 Theodoridis), and for the second of these glosses cf. the
scholia to Lucian,
Symposium 23.
[2] The noun
sxe/sis "relationship" is derived from the verb
e)/xw "hold."
[3] Perhaps (so Adler) from comment on the Greg. Naz. passage about to be quoted.
[4] Gregory of Nazianzus,
De filio 5.8 (PG 36.80b).
