The primary headword is only attested here and in other lexica and grammars (e.g.
Zonaras 1640.5, Gennadius Scholarius 2.484.15), and is probably a mistake (rather than a plausible variant) for
sh/kasqen, aorist passive indicative, third person plural (epic dialect), of the hypothetical verb *
shka/zw (see n. 1 below).
For related words see the next four entries,
sigma 300 through
sigma 303.
[1] From commentary to
Homer,
Iliad 8.131, the only literary attestation of
sh/kasqen (see general note above); cf. the
scholia there; Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 141.8 (s.v.
shko/s);
Etymologicum Magnum 711.3;
Hesychius sigma479. Adler also cites
Lexicon Ambrosianum 291.
[2] Aorist passive participle, accusative plural masculine, of the same verb; attested only here and in the quotation that follows, from which it is presumably extracted.
[3] Quotation unidentifiable. Adler suggests
Aelian (via the
Excerpta of Constantine Porphyrogenitus) as a possible source. Possibly also from a paraphrase or commentary on
Xenophon,
Cyropaedeia 3.3.63-70.
[4]
Greek Anthology 6.219.1 (attributed to Antipater of Sidon). There is no obvious connection between this quotation and the rest of the entry. As Küster suggested, it may have been displaced from an entry on the participle
sesobh/menos ('agitated'); cf.
sigma 265. Additional extracts from
Greek Anthology 6.219 may be found at
alpha 1510,
alpha 1828,
alpha 4172,
epsilon 747,
zeta 19,
kappa 2544,
lambda 869, and
sigma 1723.
