*si/dia
Adler number: sigma,381
Translated headword: rinds
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] the husks of pomegranates.[1] Children used to cut wheels and wagons out of hides; but out of pomegranates, when they eat the innards, they carve frogs out of the husks. Or
sidi/wn ['[out] of rinds'], [meaning sc. those] of pomegranates.
Aristophanes [writes]: "and he used to make frogs out of rinds, can you imagine?"[2] In reference to those wishing to demonstrate that they possess talent. "As a little child this one here used to carve houses and ships at home and fashion leather wagons and make frogs out of rinds, can you imagine?"
