Search results for sigma,425 in Adler number:
Greek display:    
Headword: *simblh/i+a
Adler number: sigma,425
Translated headword: beehives
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Vessels for bees.[1]
And [sc. also attested is the related adjective] simblh/i+a.[2]
Greek Original:
*si/mbla: ta\ tw=n melissw=n a)ggei=a. kai\ *simblh/i+a.
Notes:
The primary headword si/mbla [sic: the SOL one, mistakenly, is simblh/i+a, on which see below], not found in related lexica, is nominative/accusative plural of neuter si/mblon. See sigma 426 for the masculine plural form si/mbloi.
[1] The gloss a)ggei=a implies a ceramic receptacle or tube. The same gloss is given for si/mbloi in Hesychius sigma660. See also a scholion on Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 1.879-83b (Wendel 74.19-20).
[2] Here in the neuter plural, and surely quoted from its only attestation in classical literature: Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.1036.
