Note:
Derived from commentary to
Aristophanes,
Frogs 1497 (cf.
scholia ad loc.), where a slightly different form of the dative plural headword,
skarifhsmoi=si, appears. Neither form occurs elsewhere. The first gloss,
skarismoi=s ('jitterings') appears to be an etymological comment rather than one that is meant to be semantically enlightening. See also
sigma 540 and
sigma 522.
