*seiroi/: ai( e)pau/leis. h)\ o)ru/gmata ei)s a)po/qesin si/tou.
The headword, nominative plural is this masculine noun, is attested as such only in lexicography (see below), but is a homophonous late Greek spelling of a word which was normally spelled with an iota in the first syllable in the classical period (
siroi/). The only literary attestations of this latter form are in
Sophocles fr. 276 Radt (from his lost
Inachus) and
Artemidorus 2.24.
[1] =
Synagoge sigma43,
Photius sigma123 Theodoridis; cf.
Hesychius sigma347. Attestations of this meaning for the headword are difficult to find; Herodian,
On Orthography 3.2.448.23, and
Pollux 9.49 are ambiguous. Theodoridis on
Photius believes that Nauck (
Philologus 6 (1851): 417.2) was possibly correct in suggesting that this gloss properly belongs to the headword
shkoi/ (cf.
sigma 303).
[2] For this sense see generally LSJ s.v.
siro/s, I (citing
inter alia an Athenian inscription of the fifth century BCE), and cf.
Hesychius sigma724 s.v.
siroi=s (dative plural) =
Synagoge sigma89,
Photius sigma236;
Hesychius sigma727 s.v.
sirou=s (accusative plural).
