= Synagoge sigma61, Photius sigma171 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius sigma494-495. The headword is the present indicative active, third person singular, of shmai/nw, drawn perhaps from Homer, Iliad 10.58; cf. the D scholia to that line. Homer frequently uses the verb in the sense attributed to it here (for other senses see sigma 317, and cf. sigma 319), but this particular form only occurs in that passage. See Theodoridis on Photius sigma171 for other comparanda.
