*sa/la: h( fronti/s.
The headword, a Doric and Aeolic form, is the nominative (and vocative) singular of the feminine Attic substantive
sa/lh; see generally LSJ s.v.
Photius s.v. (see next note) adds 'thus
Aeschylus'. This dialect form of the noun is nowhere extant in
Aeschylus, but in his fr. 319 Nauck the gloss
sa/lh ga\r h( fronti/s attaches to the phrase
a)salh\s mani/a ("thoughtless madness"). According to Chantraine, the noun
sa/lh was formed by "inverse derivation" from
a)salh\s.
[1] The gloss is a feminine noun in the nominative singular; see generally LSJ s.v. and cf.
phi 733. Same glossing in
Hesychius,
Photius'
Lexicon (sigma43 Theodoridis), and s.v.
sa/los in the
Synagoge. See also
sigma 59 (end).
